Camera Catalonia<br />

SUPPORTED BY<br />

Welcome to Camera Catalonia!<br />

This year we focus almost exclusively on debut fi lms by young Catalan<br />

fi lmmakers, with one exception being a second feature. There is a fresh<br />

approach to fi lmmaking in all of the fi lms, clearly demonstrating that<br />

creativity and good storytelling are much more important than big<br />

budgets. As in previous years, we hope to have some guests to present<br />

and discuss the fi lms as well as the current state of Catalan cinema.<br />

7 Reasons to Run Away<br />

(from Society) CFF 18<br />

7 raons per fugir<br />

Catalonia, <strong>2019</strong>, 75 mins.<br />

Catalan and Spanish with English subtitles.<br />

DIRECTORS Esteve Soler, Gerard Quinto &<br />

WITH<br />

David Torras<br />

Sergi López, Emma Suárez, Lola Dueñas,<br />

Alex Brendemühl, Aina Clotet<br />

Esteve Soler adapts his own theatre work, taking<br />

a caustic and nihilistic approach to contemporary<br />

western society. His brilliant, dark humour is not<br />

suitable for the faint-hearted, and the surrealism that<br />

impregnates it recalls Buñuel at his most acerbic.<br />

Reminiscent, too, of Monty Python’s The Meaning of<br />

Life (with which it shares several similarities), it is<br />

divided into seven chapters, each named after a social<br />

value. Beyond the laughter, we are left with much to<br />

refl ect on.<br />

We hope to welcome actor Aina Clotet for a Q&A<br />

following the fi lm on Tuesday October 22nd.<br />
