              “6 versos i poca vergonya” ens submergeix al bany d'emocions que viuen tres joves del Delta de l'Ebre endinsant-se al costum més festiu dels seus avantpassats: la rondalla. Rafa dirigeix el somni de fer reviure aquest cant improvisat de les Terres de l'Ebre i Curto i Tolet busquen la rima i l'afinació. Aconseguiran superar el pas del temps i triomfar com a cantadors? Aquest documental desperta els sentits mentre immortalitza el vent de la improvització. Són les passes de tres joves que del poble han begut han conversat amb els vells agraint-los tot el rebut i convençuts del que han fet la vergonya l'han perdut

              "A Tornallom" is a documentary about the struggle to defend de irrigated area used for cultivation known as La Huerta de Valencia. It shows us images and testimonies of the events that occurred between September 2002 and March 2003, when more than 200 residents of La Punta (in the Huerta area) were evicted from their houses. The villages were demolished and the fields bulldozed to make room for the ZAL (logistics activities zone) of the Port of Valencia, which is planned to take up around 600,000 square meters, most of the area of La Huerta. “A Tornallom", is what the agricultural workers of La Huerta call the way they swap work amongst themselves. For heavy agricultural tasks workers usually help each other, pooling their efforts to do the work on one person's field and going on to another the next day until all the work is done.

              Janata Bennuna is from Morocco; Hanan Al Shaykh is from Lebanon; and Nawal Al Saadawi is from Egypt. All three are authors of the Arab word, committed intellectuals who shed light on the complex social reality of the Arab world through their books. In their hands, literature becomes a weapon through which to draw attention to and denounce situations that they oppose. The three women, from a generation heavily influenced by Pan-Arabism, initially studied against the wishes of their families, but ended up gaining their support. In A Woman's Word, these three very different writers who nonetheless share a common ground talk about their lives and their work. By learning about them, we also gain an insight into the Arab world, which is much more complex than the Manichean and mostly malicious information on the subject that predominates in our own society today. They too are Arabs, women, who refuse the victim mentality, and demand their rights through their work and their commitment.

              ABC de la Performance

              This piece by Vallaure, Lamata and Musicco is a pivotal work in the history of video performance in Spain. With great doses of humour and freshness, this piece offers us an exploration of performance, its codes and languages. The authors use a simple and easy to recognise structure, a tour of the alphabet in order to, with each letter, peruse ways of doing, resources, possibilities and doubts having to do with the art performance. The piece, aware of the absurdity that it constitutes, displays great doses of lucidity, which shows in the dialogues, the comments and the clarifications given by the two main characters in the video. On occasions this couple, due to their acting, reminds us of a classic comedy pair, such as Tip y Coll. Their prosody is quick and sharp, and although their dialogue is of a humorous nature, they manage to generate quite profound reflections of a political character. The impact of this work in the ulterior development of performance in Spain is undeniable. It sets the stage for a way of critically approaching an artistic genre, which is in certain cultural circles difficult to accept. Vallaure has continued to work in the field of the happening and the performance and is no doubt one of its major exponents.
