              “If you are against the regime, you can’t use its jargon, or its concepts, or its ideas; you can’t try to give them a different meaning, you simply have to renounce them. Nonetheless, against power – which is Capital and the State, together – there is always something that is alive, a thing called ‘the people’, which doesn't exists, and which is what remains as politics.”

              Based on four years of ethnological work, this is the first time a documentary analyses the ancestral agdal of Yagour, a system for the communal control of natural resources used by the Berbers who live in the Moroccan High Atlas region. The agdal provides access to many secrets of the “nature and society” pair in northern Africa.

              Going in depth into her father’s photo archive and diaries about his experience during the military service at the Sahara spanish colony in 1964, Pilar spots the lost paradise where he always would try to come back. In the eighties and nineties, after the failure of his family project, Manuel Monsell will start to traveling to the Maghreb. Again with his photo camera, he will run after the beauty of some portraits which could move him to the place of his dreams. But all these trips reveal much more about the place of departure than about the place of destination. Romantic love, independence and family compose a stage of a refuge that getting itself broken, it commit ourselves to ask not only about our more sincere desires but also about the need of rethinking the sense of these old words.

              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.

              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.

              "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.
