The Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival (EMIFF) has evolved into a significant cultural event on the Balearic Island since its inception in 2012. What began in small cinemas now takes place in renowned venues such as the Teatre Principal de Palma, CineCiutat, and the Palau de Congressos de Palma. The festival offers an impressive variety of genres and formats, including feature films, documentaries, short films, and animations.
Supported by the local government and numerous sponsors, the EMIFF has continuously grown and gained prestige. This support has enabled international stars and high-calibre films to come to Mallorca, making the festival a magnet for filmmakers and film enthusiasts from around the world. Engel & Völkers Mallorca is delighted to be a sponsor for the first time this year.
Hollywood luminaries such as Daniel Brühl, Melissa Leo, Danny DeVito, and Ana de Armas have graced the festival with their presence in recent years. The 12th edition of the EMIFF in 2023 spanned six days of film screenings and activities, featuring more than 300 filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals, and showcased 147 titles. Notably, "The Promised Land" with Mads Mikkelsen garnered significant attention by winning awards for Best Cinematography, Best Actor, and Best International Film. Such highlights have made the EMIFF a mainstay in the international film scene.
The EMIFF annually presents numerous awards in various categories, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor. These awards not only recognise artistic achievements but also serve as a springboard for many emerging talents in the film industry.
With each edition, the EMIFF gains more significance and attracts an ever-growing audience. The organisers are committed to further expanding the event to continue offering a top-tier film festival in the future. 
The EMIFF has grown from a small festival to an international highlight, offering a unique combination of glamour, culture, and creativity. The picturesque setting of Mallorca and the high quality of the films shown have secured the festival a permanent place in the hearts of the international film community. Mallorca is thus not only a popular destination for sun lovers but also an important venue for film enthusiasts worldwide.
