The madman of the desert

This documentary tells the story of Tateh Lehbib, a Saharawi refugee who after studying Renewable Energy at the University of Algiers and then a master's degree in energy efficiency at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has designed a type of shelter made with plastic bottles filled with sand. This innovative circular shelter aims to improve the harsh living conditions experienced in the desert in Tindouf, reducing internal temperature and offering a better resistance to sandstorm, while having an eco-friendly purpose by reusing plastic bottles.

Dyke Jails

Andrea took a drug mule trip from Argentina. She was taken directly from Barcelona airport to prison. Katia was imprisoned for two years at Martutene correctional facility in the Basque Country. Marta Dillon, journalist and feminist, visited over several years the female prisoners at the Ezeiza prison in Buenos Aires and captured their experiences in the book "Corazones Cautivos". These stories, along with those of other ex-prisoners and researchers, are part of the documentary "Cárceles Bolleras" (Dyke Jails), that pictures the reality of women behind bars and how gender inequality affects their lives there. Under these circumstances , lesbian desire becomes a form of resistance to the penitentiary institution. Through these interviews, we depict the prison universe we are unallowed to access.

Neighbours

Wrinkled faces, an abandoned lot, a shadow engulfs a cat, two hands link, a banner announces the future… A film that seems like it might fade away at any moment, its temporality suspended: the people, at times, seem to be from another era, the frames recovered from a distant time. But we’re in the present day, in a neighborhood that threatens to disappear. Movement that is barely detained by small acts of resistance. "veCINES" is a collective film made by Laboratorio Reversible in the territory it inhabits: the Poble-sec neighborhood of Barcelona.

Fragmentos desde el exilio

A surefire tactic: science fiction is ideal for political criticism. Alleged reports made in 2015 in Córdoba and summarized 50 years later by an alien allow us to investigate ubiquitous police control, the technical evolution of humans, the political history of the province, and the relationship of all this to Macri's victory that year. The instability of the images and the perplexed tone of the agent's voiceover create the narrative distance necessary to undermine any form of ideological certainty.

It is the portrait of his relationship with Josep, his companion for 15 years.
