In 2025, the Terrassa Film Lab, a prominent initiative within the Terrassa UNESCO Creative City project, has achieved remarkable success with the development of sixteen audiovisual prototypes. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the laboratory has established itself as an essential benchmark for the growth and promotion of the audiovisual sector in Terrassa and its surrounding area.
“"The laboratory has consolidated itself as an important tool and reference point for the development and promotion of the audiovisual sector in the city and the territory."
Thanks to the support of the Diputació de Barcelona, the program has assisted a total of 32 local companies and freelancers, in addition to guiding the sixteen aforementioned prototypes. This effort has involved over 870 hours of specialized consulting and support, earning a user rating of 9.2 out of 10. Recognition has come not only from entrepreneurs but also from the Ministry of Finance, which selected the Film Lab as a semifinalist in the Europa Se Siente competition, highlighting its position at the forefront of territorial innovation.
The Terrassa Film Lab has moved beyond theoretical discussions to transform ideas into concrete actions, connecting them with the professional and educational fabric of the country. This commitment to cutting-edge technology underscores the vision that art and audiovisual content are not merely entertainment but also a transformative engine for the economy.
Located within the Parc Audiovisual de Catalunya, the Terrassa Film Lab has proven to be an innovative and transversal tool. It has welcomed participants ranging from fashion designers to experimental filmmakers, including projects related to health and social impact. The program has opened its doors to citizens, educational centers, and universities, offering training and fostering critical thinking, and has supported international audiovisual festivals that reinforce Terrassa's standing as a reference in cinema and audiovisual arts.
Among future challenges, Deputy Mayor Joan Salvador emphasized the need to protect local talent and manage the impact of artificial intelligence, ensuring it remains a fair and accessible tool for everyone.
