Six nights in August

Lluís Maria Xirinacs, a religious man, philosopher and political activist, leaves Barcelona on a Monday in August 2007 for the mountains. It was the day he turned seventy-five. Six days later, a mushroom picker finds him lying in a meadow, dead. Ten years later, Duna, a writer in a creative and personal crisis, searches for the ultimate meaning of this death.

Gos que borda boira endins

GOS QUE BORDA BOIRA ENDINS is a short film that falls into the genre of videopoem. With a raw and austere staging, and the effect of dialogues narrated in an indirect style by the voice-over of Jordi Lara, it proposes a dreamlike incursion into the universe of the poet Miquel Martí i Pol (Roda de Ter, 1929-2003). The director and writer Jordi Lara visits Miquel Martí i Pol at the tomb in the cemetery of his town. The poet is waiting for him and together they leave the cemetery to take a mind-blowing and revealing walk, during which they rediscover the great themes of the poet's work: the factory workers, the town, illness, love and poetry itself. Miquel Martí i Pol was a Catalan poet from the factory of Roda de Ter. He worked as a writer in a spinning factory until he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of forty-four. From then on he devoted himself to poetry. He is the most popular Catalan poet of the late twentieth century.
