Thought through movement. Human Caracol sees the journey as an itinerary that is open to experience, a story made up of the unexpected, of mobile and fixed intensities. A nomadic portrait of choreographer and dancer Steve Paxton. Steve Paxton was one of the founders of the Judson Dance Theatre and Grand Union, and a pioneer of Contact Improvisation, and part of the Merce Cunningham dance company in the early sixties. In this documentary based on the tactile gaze, Steve Paxton talks to choreographers María Muñoz and Pep Ramis as they prepare organic compost.

Through many voices, this project articulates the process of living in an area that until recently formed part of the periphery of the city of Barcelona. Torre Baró and Vallbona are two neighbourhoods that are expected to become a node of connection and expansion of metropolitan urban growth. This video tells the short history of these neighbourhoods by focusing on various themes: a first part explains the occupation of the area by settlers and self-builders; a second part characterised by the struggle, the process of socio-political demands and the consolidation of the associative movement; and a final part that outlines its possible future as an enclave of connection and interrelation with the urban context.

To Ikhlas, a young mother, the most important things in life are her two children, all that is left from an arranged marriage in her teens. Her youngest son Nasser was imprisoned by the Israelis when he was only 15 for defending the cause of the Palestine people. Ikhlas is willing to accept any sacrifice in order to remain in contact with him, but she cannot help wondering whether this is really what her people need to do in order to defend themselves.
