UntitledThe upgrading of the final stretch of Diagonal avenue in Barcelona's Poble Nou area, for the launch of the "Forum" zone, will lead to the physical disappearance of entire blocks of housing and a way of life. An interview with a group of residents affected by a PERI (special renovation plan) that affects a block of ground floor houses in Poble Nou.

UntitledAn inside view from the streets of the events that took place over one week in the Palestinian city of Nablus in August 2004. The camera takes us into the world of children who play at being soldiers in an army that has stones and motives as its only weapons. In the midst of Israeli gunshots and bombs, a dialog takes place with soldiers who sometimes seem more frightened than their own victims. The camera, with a group of international activists and paramedics, follows the soldiers as they search the city house by house. The international presence also acts as an "occupier-witness" of the zone of impunity in which Israel regularly acts.

Situations repeat themselves, and no matter how many guns they have, it will all be repeated again, because it will be necessasry. Watch out world leaders, murderers like Mr Bush...this is a Barcelona you can?t see one that hides?".
UntitledThese videos deal with some of the most visible issues in contemporary societies. Racial mix, violence, marginalisation, culture clashes...as manifestations of the idea of the Border (territorial, social political, psychological). Issues that could be summed up in the profound feeling of loneliness that saturates these works. Juan Bautista Peiro.
