La Makabra
La Makabra

La Makabra is a squatted factory, usually occupied by around fifty people. It is open to the public, and it works as a self-managed cultural centre in Barcelona's Poble Nou district. This is one of the social and artistic collectives affected by 22@, the urban design plan responsible for restructuring the district, which plans to evacuate the building. In spite of this situation the squatters continue performing shows and cabarets, because that is how they use this space, placing creativity up against consumption.

A documentary that criticizes Barcelona's mammoth urban restructuring process, which is carried out without the participation of the people who live in and use the city according to a model that chooses to ignore social memory, especially when it comes to the working class. Through the voices of some of the people behind this process, the documentary shows a side to this chapter of the city's history that is usually not presented by the media.

Mecca. The new King of Iraq. For decades, Movietone was one of the major international news broadcasting agencies. It shaped the collective imaginary, created by the mass media, of a large cross-section of Americans and Europeans.
La Memoria Interior
ES OVNI RSC-1343 · Item · 2002
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

This work, the result of a trip to Germany (taken in December of 2000) and of a personal investigation that lasted over two years, tackles the theme of the construction of memory and of the mechanisms of the production of history. Through the narration of my family’s history, it delves into the memory of the recent emigration from the spanish state to Europe, and reflects on the mechanisms of oblivion and remembrance, by recuperating the idea of the construction of memory as a nexus and a dialogue, and the elaboration from personal experience against the idea of an official history and memory, restricted to the institutional and articulated around the aestheticisation and the deactivation of the political subjects.

Parallel testimonies of Youssoupha, a rap artist and Thomas. Evocation of rap as an object of censorship, often criminalised by successive governments, and as a weapon of political struggle, far removed from the clichés of commercial rap.

“Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution are the greatest threat since the time of the Soviet Union and communism”. Doctrine for Asymmetric War Against Venezuela, U.S. Army, 2006 This is the starting point for a journey across the country which gave rise to the “red wave” in Latin America. Does Venezuela represent the dream of a new socialist society or is it just another distortion of populism and dictatorship? A trip with President Chavez over the largest oil reserve in the world, situated beneath the Orinoco river, becomes the occasion in which to enter into the lives of Venezuelans, nine years after the beginning of the Bolivarian revolution. The government missions to fight illiteracy and hunger, the creation of a public health care system and the development of an economy based on cooperative work are some of the achievements which characterize the Chavez era. On the other hand are the country's 60 violent deaths a week and its collapsing hospitals, the closure of the most popular television channel, the old European immigrants in flight, the opposition black list and the ubiquitous government propaganda. Venezuela en route to socialism: is this still possible in our post-ideological times?
