Inti(mate) Filmmaking

12th Symposium

Presentation of the Cens d’artistes de Catalunya

By Manuel Guerrero Brullet, head of the Cens d’artistes at the Catalan Ministry of Culture, and Margarida Troquet, vice-president of the Consell Nacional de la Cultura i de les Arts (CoNCA).

The aim is to encourage all cultural creators resident in Catalunya to take part in this Artist Census.

The Cens d’artistes de Catalunya was launched in December 2020 in response to long-standing demands from professional associations in many creative industries (visual arts, design, illustration, music, performing arts, literature, film, screen and videogames).

It aims to carry out a survey of artistic creation across Catalonia and to ensure the Artists' Statute delivers on its promises. Exhaustive diagnostic and assessment work will help design strategies, directives and actions to improve artists' and cultural professionals' working conditions and shape improved public policies in this area.


First-Person Filmmaking

Battling egos, combating stress, haggling over sequences, arguing with people, standing up for what you believe in, negotiating with friends and accommodating, accepting, welcoming success and celebrating the art form: filmmaking.

If these are the main sources of friction and joy sparked among members of a team working on a movie in general, what happens when the film in question tells the story of the director’s own life?

This activity ties in with the Communicating While Cocreating masterclass, run by Fernanda Rossi.

Florencia Aliberti
Florencia Aliberti

Florencia Aliberti works mainly in the field of documentary and experimental filmmaking as both director and editor. Her work moves effortlessly between cinemas and exhibition spaces as she freely experiments with a wide range of images, formats and media, from photochemistry to analogue to digital video.

Her interest in collage and found footage and her urge to experiment with celluloid and film led her to make a series of experimental shorts that explored the pictorial power of film while fashioning new narratives for the digital age. Her recent work includes (Auto)exposiciones (2012–2015), a multifaceted project that examines the new ways in which people readily expose their private lives online as part of a wider analysis of identity and sexuality on social media. It won Best Short Film Award at the 2016 Zubroffka Film Festival, as well as a Special Mention at DocsMexico 2016 and at the Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento in Buenos Aires in 2012.

She is currently editing the documentaries La cocina de los hombres (Sílvia Subirós) and Trini (Marta Romero Coll), which won the Antaviana–Mentoring Projects Prize and the Music Library & SFX Prize in l’Alternativa Professionals 2020.
