- Screening: Rius de tinta. David Guzman and Eulàlia Guarro / Spain, 2017, 30’, Original version
Over five centuries ago, some German printers created the myth of Barcelona as a publishing capital. Ever since, the city has been celebrated by poets, playwrights and novelists; Barcelona underwent the decline that Victus spoke of, but also lived the Renaixença extolled by Aribau. Quixote fell, defeated, on the beach at Barcelona, but his struggle is still our struggle today, and ideals stand the test of any knight of the white moon. This project sets out to involve the streets, the readers, the creators, the bookshops and the libraries of a metropolis that exudes literature, and also to pay homage to them. Rius de Tinta is a multiplatform project about the landscapes, the people and the emotions that have inspired pages and pages set in Barcelona.
