The Catalan International Social Cinema Festival (CLAM) has concluded its 22nd edition in Navarcles with notable success, recording 5,000 tickets sold and a 10% increase in its audience compared to the previous year.

The festival's closing ceremony took place at the Teatre-Auditori Agustí Soler i Mas in Navarcles, the festival's historic venue, with the screening of the film "Tender Loving Care", winner of the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián Film Festival. The organization has highly praised the attendance, which includes box office and online sales, excluding invitations and the educational program.
The festival, directed by Esteve Soler and organized by the Associació Clam, Societat i Cinema, featured 24 films in its official section. The award for best film in competition went to "Josephine", by director Beth de Araújo.
This year's edition stood out for its recognition of audiovisual talent, with 7 Honorary Awards presented to international figures such as director Stephen Frears and actress Maria de Medeiros, alongside renowned Catalan cinema names like Joaquim Oristrell and Vicky Peña. The CLAM also paid tribute to the careers of three figures from Manresa linked to the seventh art: composer Manel Camp, critic Manuel Quinto, and filmmaker Enric Roca.
