Description

FROM MONTSENY TO THE WORLD:
"TANIT" BEGINS ITS INTERNATIONAL JOURNEY

Following a warm reception from both audiences and critics, Pep Garrido’s film *TANIT* continues its theatrical run while embarking on an international festival tour, including stops at Tallinn Black Nights, SCHLINGEL, and the Beijing International Children’s Film Festival.
Rooted in the Montseny region, the story will travel to some of the world’s most significant film festivals dedicated to children and youth. Notable selections include the A-list Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia—specifically its "Just Film" section, one of Europe’s largest and most renowned platforms for young audiences—as well as Germany’s SCHLINGEL festival, which hosted the film’s international premiere.
The film will also travel to the Beijing International Children’s Film Festival in China, offering an opportunity to reach Asian audiences. Finally, the festival circuit includes a screening in Oulu, Finland.

*TANIT* premiered on September 18th and is still in theaters. It has already been screened in venues across Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and the rest of Spain, drawing an intergenerational audience that returns to the cinema week after week—a shared experience for both children and adults.

Synopsis
Deep in the Montseny mountains, young Tanit is left to roam freely—she has little choice, as her mother is on bed rest due to a high-risk pregnancy. One day, while searching the woods for her dog, Xuc, she encounters Grandma Perona—a grumpy, reclusive old woman whom everyone believes to be a witch. Tanit becomes her apprentice, but an unexpected event soon shakes her world, forcing her to grow up before her time.
*Tanit*—an adaptation of the classic by Núria Albó, written and directed by Pep Garrido—is a story about childhood, grief, nature, and the bonds between generations. It stars breakout actress Dolça Salvans Portell alongside the established Isabel Rocatti, with a score by composer Clara Peya. The film is a production of Atiende Films and Dacsa Produccions, distributed by Syldavia Cinema. To arrange screenings and discussions of the film:
