LA CONTRA

Documentary film - 7'
El Kinògraf for CCCB, 2006


La Contra is the name of the rear page of the La Vanguardia, one of the major catalan newspapers. Victor Amela, Lluís Amiguet and Ima Sanchís are the journalists behind the curious interviews daily read by thousands of people. This short documentary explores the relationship between interviewers and interviewees, focusing on how words fly from conversations to ink. It was shot for the exhibition "The pulse of the days", a commemoration of La Vanguardia's 125th birthday.
