PANORAMA

POLITICS, INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

by Fernando León de Aranoa Produced by _Mediapro _ Reposado Producciones Spain, 2014.

The economic crisis has left a landscape of social cutbacks, unemployment and street protests.

The political debate has taken to the streets, “democracy” is the one of the most searched words on Google. The government invites those unhappy with the system to organize their own party and run for election. A group of activists and university professors accepts the challenge.

Politics, Instructions Manual is the story of how Podemos was built, one of the most unexpected and dizzying political processes in recent Spanish history. Filmed with privileged access, and over the course of more than one year, this documentary bears witness to a new, urgent and unknown approach to doing politics. And it constitutes a practical manual about how to elaborate and communicate a political project in only one year.

IN LOCO PARENTIS

Salvador lives isolated in Patagonia after being falsely accused of murdering his own brother. Many decades later a visit by his brother Marcos rekindles their rivalry and conflicting ideas about murder, innocence and guilt.

The Invisible Guest

uncertain glory

by Oriol Paulo

by Agustí Villaronga

Accused of a murder, Adrian hires the services of Virginia Goodman, a prestigious lawyer who prepares witnesses. Over one night, they’ll work together to clarify the facts in a race against time that defies all laws of logic.
