José, Victoria and Miquel are three of the people who have lived on the streets, or are very close to doing so. Antibiografies is a documentary about the lives of Barcelona’s homeless people, a hidden world that is less visible but no less real or alive than any other. The protagonists talk about how they survive, their relationships, and the occupation of public space. A vision of tod ay’s society from a marginal, frontier perspective.
Antonio's story is one among the many stories of a person trying to survive the gentrification of El Raval, a traditionally working class neighbourhood in the centre of Barcelona. Antonio makes ends meet by recycling his finds and swapping things, while also giving things away to people who are in need, the homeless, poor people and migrants... all in all, he is a small focus of resistance to the ruthless capitalism that is slowly taking control of our lives.

Autonomía Obrera is a documentary about the autonomous struggles in 1970s Spain, a story about the other workers' movement, a rewriting of the post-Franco transition. Against historical memory, political memory.
In April 1961, in the Aurès mountains of Algeria, a hunting commando made up of Breton conscripts confronts a group from the National Liberation Army and captures an Algerian prisoner. A French soldier, wounded in the clash and a schoolteacher in civilian life, recalls the events he experienced with his comrades over the past months: their opposition to the Algerian war led them to a camp reserved for draft resisters. He remembers how their commanding officer managed to turn them, from young anti-militarist Bretons, into fearsome fellagha hunters — ready to kill, and even starting to enjoy it. All of them, except him, gradually give in to the escalating violence. Avoir vingt ans dans les Aurès, is a fictional work based on eight hundred hours of recordings of French conscripts during the Algerian war.
The paintings and stories of the painter Don Pablo Amaringo's Amazonian and religious realities subtly guide you through this film, in which you share space and time with a series of teachers who are experts on the language of the Amazon's plants, seen by many as “the world's pharmacy”. This documentary is called “Ayaruna”, which means “deceased” in Quechuan, and acts as a bridge between different realities, setting up a profound philosophical dialogue that deals with the language of the spirit and covers subjects like the mystical experience and medicine in our time.
