La cineasta y poeta norte americana Abigail Child, cuyos films B/Side y The Future is Behind You participaron en ediciones anteriores de l’Alternativa, es protagonista de una muestra en el Reina Sofia en Madrid. Sus films (muy recomendables) exploran el espacio público a través de la memoria y la historia, y los límites de las relaciones entre sonido e imagen.
