We interview Xavier Cazeneuve, historian and founding partner of Barchinona.cat. We talk with him about the relations between Barcelona and films on a historical and urban planning level.
We interview Lupe Capell, audiovisual facilitator and Pilar Armengol, audiovisual teaching coordinator at the Institut Escola Trinitat Nova (IETN). This centre, which wants to become an educational space integrated in the neighbourhood, was created in 2017 as part of Barcelona City Council’s Neighbourhood Plan.
We interview Anna Soler-Pont, the founder in 1992 of the literary agency Pontas. After a journey to Cairo and a meeting with Naguib Mahfouz, her life changed and a young language student became a literary agent. The agency also evolved toward the creation of Pontas Films. It is thus on both sides of the book, both managing the literary rights of its authors to adapt them to film and producing films based on books or helping others to adapt them to film.
We interview Sara Gutiérrez, Director of Yo la busco. This film has just been nominated for best film in the Gaudí Awards, confirming the success and the emerging talent of UPF students. We talk with her about the film which can be seen in Filmin and Movistar+ and about her experience directing her first film.
We interview Elisabet Dubé Ferré, a producer, a lecturer at the ESCAC and founding partner of DonesVisuals. This association was created to fight against the scarce presence of women in the audiovisual industry and brings together professionals from the sector committed to defending, promoting and implementing this presence through specific actions.
