In addition, 38 wine-themed productions will compete in the official section Collita. The program will be completed with 22 short films, documentaries such as La vinya i la banya by vintner Raimon Coll and Sour Grapes by Jerry Rothwell and Reuben Atlas, on the case of falsification of luxury wines discovered in 2012 in California, and activities around wine culture, such as the enoturistic Cinema als Cellers (Cinema at wineries), with the participation of wineries from both areas, and the Mini Most short films section for the children's audience, with mosto tasting included. All this in one edition, the seventh, with Uruguay as the guest country.
The Gran Reserva section will pre-screen the films Happy End by Michael Haneke, Two Women by Martin Provost, C'est la vie by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, the biopic Django by Etienne Comar, and Tierra Firme by Carlos Marqués-Marcet, which will close this edition.

The Collita section will collect long and medium-length films from 15 countries, shorts in the Històries del vi (wine stories) section and promotional videos. Among the fruits of this harvest are Decanted, the initiatory adventure of newcomers to the wine business in Napa Valley, L'aviador and Vermut Montseta, who opt for wine as a meeting point for neighbors or families, and in the wineries themselves in Microvi, la gran festa dels petits cellers, being promoted in advertisements (Wine Tourism), inspiration for artistic creation (Entre vinyes), and starting point for creative experimentation (Celler Batlliu de Sort-Vi Bord).

Uruguay will participate with the documentary Saving Wine by Philippe Prieto and Samuel Toutain, a film about the measures that some French winemakers have taken against climate change, and Nicolás Carreras' The Wine Duel, starring Charlie Arturaola and presented by himself.
