En Construcción (Import)

In an emblematic popular neighborhood of Barcelona, threatened by a reform plan, the construction of a housing block is underway. "We wanted to know the intimacy of a construction, so we went there, when that space was still a lot where the kids played soccer. On this terrain we looked for a way to live together, get to know and film - like this, in this order - that we allowed us to address both the anecdote of the work itself and that which it generated around it; in that daily life broken by the roar of the demolitions, among its neighbors, in the neighborhood (in fact the image of the neighborhood was concretized in that of the handful of faces that represented it to our eyes). In this process, we soon realized that the mutation of the urban landscape also implied a mutation in the human landscape, and that in this movement certain echoes of the world could be recognized. On these foundations we built a film." . / Awards 2001: San Sebastián Festival: Special Jury Prize. Fipresci Award 2001: Goya Awards: Best Documentary 2001: Forqué Awards: Best Film
