              In the summer of 2004, citizens of Barcelona carried out an aquatic action against the hypocrisies and corruption involved in the concept and implementation of the Forum of Cultures. This documentary tells of their mission to reach the Forum in "pateras" (the small boats used by illegal immigrants to cross the Gibraltar Strait).

              On May 27, 2011, police tried to evict the camp at Plaça Catalunya (Barcelona), which consisted of citizens exercising their right to freedom of assembly in a public space. The ensuing events in Barcelona became one of the most-documented cases of police brutality in recent history. They will also go down in history for the effective, exemplary and forceful non-violent response of the demonstrators. Following these events, a group of citizens filed a complaint reporting police abuse. But the judge closed the case without even hearing the complainants. This decision effectively left the claimants – and all citizens – utterly defenceless, and left the perpetrators of the serious events that took place on May 27 unpunished. It also created a dangerous precedent that is reminiscent of the impunity that existed in Spain during Franco’s dictatorship. #SOS27M Police impunity questions Spain’s democracy and justice system and calls for the support of the international community.

              Safaris in the gaps of the empire of property speculation. Psycho-geographic wanderings.Huge urban extension of desolated and confused territories between deconstruction and construction submerged to the rhythm of daily transformations... While the constructors look ahead in the future and neighbors reclaim the past of the workers district, here we are now, in a changeable and dynamic surroundings, without known marks and orientational signs. Municipal maps are not valid here any more.Flow of human circulations are generating and modifying according to measure that urban volumes are transforming. Every movement happens to be an adventure because it won't be possible to see and experience it never again.

The plan consists of placing elevators inside the traditional neighborhood houses. By criss crossing the perceptions of various characters, we perceive the creative tensions that reveal some of the ways people experience local conflicts and different ways of resolving them.

              A tragicomedy, narrated by its own characters, Si Nos Dejan is a documentary about migrants, made by migrants in Barcelona. Different characters let us into their own quests, from the moment of their departures, and we watch as these quests and objectives ravel and unravel, leaving the essence of the individual. Their stories are shared by the director, an undocumented migrant herself, and by her camera; she has woven a fabric of different realities that meet as they follow a similar path.

              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Sin Papeles tells the story of the of a hunger strike staged by migrant workers, without papers (sin papeles), in a small church in Barcelona by bringing together a sound recording of its climax made in March 2001 and film footage of the location shot four years later to the day. The subjective account of the event made by the artist in the form of a sub-titled narration is a process of personal reflection de-objectifying the subject of migration for the purpose of work, displacement and social order. The film is a reflection on the implications and realities of the aspects of the EU project that have created a fortress of Europe.
