- Spanish director Victor Erice discusses the first film he saw as a 5 year old and the impact it had on his life.
- Letters from two acclaimed directors offer a remarkable portrait of their attitudes to the craft of filmmaking and the world around them.
- The sun has a central role to play in almost every shot of this analogue cinematic declaration of love to Barcelona, the adopted home of filmmaker Alba Cros Pellisé. Barcelona is where she met other lesbian women for the first time, where she found lovers, and where the members of her chosen family live. She films them at their homes and on the streets, where sunlight illuminates the cobblestones and walls, as well as people's faces. Cros complements her journal-style voice-over with title cards, jazzy music and the familiar, nostalgic sound of film running through the camera.
- Before birth, neurons create connections that interlink our senses. As we grow, the connections that have not been used disappear. But there are minds where these connections remain, enabling them to order their world linking sensory experiences. These are synaesthesic minds and the minds that we want to defend with this visual essay. We also want to put on the table different artists that have had synaesthesia over the course of the history of art, as well as defending creativity as a tool for letting the mind flow.
- The program addresses issues such as what the current public television function is and what limitations it must have in relation to the commercial component.
- Neither history nor technology are innocuous tools. As the sociologist Judy Wajcman indicates, technologies reflect the values and experiences of the people who design them. The same could be said of history to understand the lack of presence of women and people from developing countries, both in the field of science and technology and in new spaces of communication such as Wikipedia or even Google. The new technologies are designed by young and white men, and Silicon Valley is a quarry of these programmers and technological designers, many of whom consider themselves "Randian heroes" in honor of the liberal and individualistic theories of Ayn Rand. What consequences stem from this techno-sociological dilemma?
- When directors turn over the camera to their everytday life, what do they shoot? A video-essay about the images of the videodiaries of David Perlov, Jonas Mekas, Naomi Kawase, Alain Cavalier, Ross McElwee, Johan van der Keuken i Naomi Uman, among others. Filming life is irrelevant?
- The technologies that we use each day generate personal data (images, routes, biorhythms, communications, etc.) that can be used by anyone, from companies with commercial aims to private individuals with the most unsuspected intentions, without us knowing about it. Panoptic is a documentary series that uses the concept of mockumentary to explain the dangers of this fact in the different chapters, each of which focuses on a different technology.
- What happens when two hands touch? How close are they like?
- The city of Barcelona has the question of tourism at the centre of its political and social agenda. The concern regarding what type of tourism it wants to promote and what changing the city's model of tourism or not would mean is on the table. In parallel, its traditional streets, squares and establishments are being altered by tourism attractions. Each country feeds its tourists with myths, legends and icons of its cities whether or not these stories are true or false, as happens with the legend of Santa Eulalia or with the Gothic quarter. The Barcelona of design, comfort, fiestas and art is combined with the Barcelona of this past reconstructed for zombie tourism and for posterity. Advertising campaigns, films, media, etc., have been weaving this imagery for decades. Barcelona is an exquisite corpse, but it is our city. For this very reason, the Soy Cámara team made an exquisite corpse with the workshop held within the context of the BccN. This is the collective result.
- Lluís tells us how he met Rossanna and the obsessions she had with Torre Colón. She said that whoever got close to the tower, disappeared. They usually met at Alí's bar, and one day the police deported him in a raid. Rosanna said it was all the fault of the Tower. The title refers to one of the works of Juli Vallmitjana, Sota Montjuïc, a costumbrista novel depicting the murky depths of Barcelona in the early 20th century. Sota la Torre Colón brings us close to the Barcelona of the Raval (District V) from docu-fiction without losing the documentary authenticity of all the main characters and spaces.
- 25 years ago there was a promise of a new world, and an alternate reality with endless possibilities based on the cybernetic revolution. But what have been the real changes through this 25 years and in which direction are we going now? From the first artistic and musical expressions to our present digital life going through our bodies, movies&video games, robots and artificial intelligence and the tech-way we have adopted to communicate each other.
- This Soy Cámara episode is a presentation of the Segundo Intento project through an interview with its authors. Segundo Intento, the work of the collective Leland Palmer, investigates censorship in contemporary art from the movie Rocío, by Fernando Ruiz Vergara, and from the project File Room, by Antoni Muntadas, but talks about censorship cases in current art in a post-democratic context. This project, for which we interviewed different agents and artists, is structured around four sections: self-censorship, cultural policies, sexuality and copyright.
- Audiovisual rhetoric and grammar can be used as new formats to offer thinking tools. In the midst of the excess of images and information, the split screen gives us the possibility of opening new systems of relationships between existing images. These dialectics are the legacy of Aby Warburg (Atlas Mnemosyne), John Berger's (Ways of Seeing) or Daniel Dennett's lectures. I AM CÁMARA (the CCCB program) makes the leap to the network and one of its missions is to show us how we can break through existing images based on shared authorship and the exchange of views.
