Why & Where
Today we can say, without a doubt, there hasn’t been a more exciting time for film photography in the XXIst century than there is now.
Traveling Light was born as platform to help connect film photographers around the globe and establish the film scene in Europe from one of the most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean sea. And, like most important things in life, it all started with a sentence.
“Because life is not made of 1’s and 0’s”
Everything will happen in northern Barcelona, in a region call Empordà, where the Spanish north meets the south of France. We believe it’s impossible not to fall in love with it and we want to show you why : )
A 1930’s cinema will be our venue; the cinema has been fairly well preserved despite the passing years and it has survived in the little village of Torroella de Montgrí thanks to the passion of its inhabitants.

Autumn is one of the best seasons to enjoy the northern Mediterranean coast and its true character.
Costa Brava is a destination chosen by many to disconnect from city life and enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness that the coast has to offer. Although it is only known by the ones who live there now, the autumn season proudly shows off the dark greens of its pine trees and draws its skies in the clearest of blues. We want to show you why l’Empordà was a chosen spot for so many artists seeking inspiration.
Staying longer
We deeply, deeply encourage you to stay a bit longer, even if it’s only because you want to visit Barcelona or the last filming location of Game of Thrones in Girona.
Gather & Learn
We believe one of the best things about being a photographer are the people that form the community, the ones that give you the feeling that you have known each other for ages even if you’ve never met before.
We want Traveling Light to be the place where ideas are exchanged over cups of coffee, where you don’t feel the need to look at what time it is, and where everyone comes with a positive attitude, to share and learn around a common passion.
A place where creativity is cherished, and sharing doubts and fears is celebrated. We believe we’ve found the perfect place to rest after the season and to share your experiences while learning.

Explore & Shoot
There is a reason why l’Emprodà has been the home for many artists, from Dalí to Truman Capote, even Ferran Adrià had el Bulli here. This corner of the Mediterranean is where the mountain meets the sea, where the coast runs wild and yet still offers peaceful spots for one to take a moment to admire it.
The coast is asking to be explored; the pine forests, olive trees, and the narrow streets are just waiting for an adventure underneath the beautiful light of the autumn sun.
