WHAT'S ON

The Barcelona Independent Film Festival, l’Alternativa, is now in its 32nd edition. For over three decades we have been offering filmgoers and professionals a unique opportunity to discover and enjoy screenings and activities that value creative freedom, diversity, innovation, commitment and thought-provoking reflection.

Expanded Bodies

The expanded body projects itself onto any surface that can reflect light. An expanded body stretches, extends and radiates in multiple ways, both physically and conceptually. At its most primordial level it seeks to transcend the idea of the flat, square, single and frontal screen to venture out and explore new forms and strategies that invite us to broaden our gaze.

The watchwords to this year’s expanded programme at l’Alternativa Hall are analogue and live.

We begin with a full line-up curated by Crater-Lab as part of Spectral, a project cofunded by Creative Europe to promote analogue filmmaking with an experimental and DIY spirit. This initiative has been taken up by six laboratories, among them Crater-Lab, an independent creative hub that has been active in Barcelona since 2014.

„…The second live piece, Warm Data, comes from Poland-born, Finland-based artist Natalia Kozieł-Kalliomäki, who immerses herself in the urban fabric to twist the notion of cold data, the quantitative and detached figures of the city…”

Performance: Friday, November 14th, 20:00

At Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona
