Tarajal: Dismantling Impunity on the Southern Border is a documentary research project by the production company Metromuster, which previously produced the influential activist documentary Ciutat Morta. It has been commissioned by Observatori DESC, which is collaborating in the research process. Tarajal is based on statements from migration experts, journalists, lawyers, police spokespersons, and activists, as well as official declarations from the Interior Ministry, edited together to reveal the many contradictions in the accounts of the events leading to the death of 15 migrants at Tarajal. Above all, it suggests that the events may not have simply been a matter of police negligence, but part of a strategy designed for the application of migration control policies.

UntitledMoi, un Noir. Reloaded, is a tribute to Jean Rouch and provides a free update / re-interpretation of Moi, un Noir, the film the French anthropologist made in 1957. While the original film was satisfying the eager curiosity of the western gaze about otherness from the safe distance of a film, Reloaded minimizes cultural differences and avoids the exotic. Under these assumptions, the film plunges into the daily lives of the characters, into their thoughts and reflections on their experiences as black, Muslim and immigrant subjects.
