              In global capitalism, the movement of bodies through borders takes the form of an asymmetrical dualism. One side of the border acts as a retaining wall, a knife that cuts territories, bodies, and genders. It is not driven to block access to the central zones of capital, but to bureaucratically manage the legality of the migratory flow, forking it into being and non-being. The other side of the border adopts a flexible interface, expanding endlessly in the space of the “other”, while preserving the impermeability of knowledge and identities. The border has ceased to be a peripheral space, it becomes centre. Its implosion is expressed in a whole range of institutions, security devices, and parallel agencies that inhabit our cities, forming an expanding inner border. The logic of the border is now spreading to all systems of political and cognitive power. In this sense, we can speak of borders as laboratories for a new totalitarian system. Proclamations that were once the domain of openly racist sectarian groups are now being absorbed into governmental and media discourse. Colonialism is also a state of the soul, based on alterity in constant opposition. Always an “other” to criticise, occupy, conquer... never loving contemplation or dialogue for the transformation of being... being without borders.

              MOVE first emerged in Philadelphia (USA) in the early seventies. This documentary traces the most important events in the history of the organisation during the seventies and eighties, when MOVE was at the centre of brutal repression that ended with the majority of its members killed or in jail. Eight of them remain in prison to this day. “The work of MOVE is the revolution. MOVE works to stop industry from poisoning the air, the water, the soil, and put an end to the enslavement of life - people, animals, any form of life... The revolution begins with the individual. It begins when a person commits to doing the right thing. You cannot turn somebody into a revolutionary by making them shout slogans or wield arms. The revolution cannot be imposed on others, it must awaken within each person. Somebody may talk about the revolution, but if they still worship money or take drugs or abuse their partner, they are obviously not committed to doing the right thing. Revolution is not a philosophy, it is an action".

              “Radical Imagination (Carnivals of Resistance)” is the second part of the “Entre sueños” (Between Waking and Sleeping) series. It deals with the “Global carnival against capital”, an action staged by the Reclaim the Streets movement in London on June 18, 1999, which brought urban commercial life to a standstill. The City of London, a world financial centre and a major hub of international capital, was paralysed, and the protest developed into an epicentre of a political current that reappropriated the idea of the carnival as a tool that points to new approaches of the occupation and formation of public space in recent anti-globalization movements.

              A reflection on the brutal changes to the landscape, and those who inhabit it that are being generated in many European cities through new forms of urban development. In this case, the protagonist is an industrial area full of factories and workshops created during the industrial revolution in the 18th century, which is currently undergoing devastating changes as a consequence of various economic and political interests.

              La Makabra is a squatted factory, usually occupied by around fifty people. It is open to the public, and it works as a self-managed cultural centre in Barcelona's Poble Nou district. This is one of the social and artistic collectives affected by 22@, the urban design plan responsible for restructuring the district, which plans to evacuate the building. In spite of this situation the squatters continue performing shows and cabarets, because that is how they use this space, placing creativity up against consumption.

              A documentary that criticizes Barcelona's mammoth urban restructuring process, which is carried out without the participation of the people who live in and use the city according to a model that chooses to ignore social memory, especially when it comes to the working class. Through the voices of some of the people behind this process, the documentary shows a side to this chapter of the city's history that is usually not presented by the media.

              This documentary seeks to boost the voices involved in struggles against the MAT (very high voltage power line), from legal actions to more direct actions, such as the first forest occupation in the Spanish state. They are all confronting the new 440Kv power line that is due to cross the Iberian Peninsula in 2013.
