FAUNA

74’ (2023)


Documentary feature film directed by Pau Faus and produced by Nanouk Films, coproduced by Televisió de Catalunya, with the support of ICAA, ICEC and Filmin.
Production, executive production and script by Sergi Cameron



It is summer; a heron is standing in a river. On the banks, a man and his dog are sitting peacefully. Alerted by the sound of bleating, they set off to rescue a goat trapped in a pit, before rejoining the herd. As the camera slowly zooms out, we are suddenly transported into another world: a hi-tech laboratory, staffed by people wearing full protective gear. They are busier than usual, working on the development of a vaccine against Covid, with the help of extensive animal testing. An opening lift reveals goats staggering down a corridor, evoking the first, lost goat. In a few minutes and with a skilful and elegant construction, Pau Faus sets the scene, revealing an unusual form of neighbourly relations in a forest on the outskirts of Barcelona: “It’s as if we were living in prehistoric times, while they are in space.” By composing precise shots and with the help of a cheerfully humorous montage, Fauna interweaves the world of humans, animals and science in pandemic times.

EL CÍRCULO

70’ A CIRCLE OF MAN (2021)


Documentary feature film produced by Nanouk Films with the participation of Movistar+. Directed by Iván Roiz and Álvaro Priante
Production and executive production by Sergi Cameron




El Círculo is an uncomfortable and uncensored portrait of a process of deconstruction and questioning of masculinity. Fortunately, the rise of feminism has led to a crisis of what it means to be a man, and the characters in the documentary channeled through the circles, therapies collective catharsis and serving as a meeting point. Will they be able to build a new masculinity or will they resist what they consider an attack on their values and learned ways of living?

At the end of the summer Paula will have a glimpse of what it means to grow up.

YO LA BUSCO

THE NIGHT SHE MOVES 84’ (2018)


Feature film produced by Nanouk Films and Pompeu Fabra University with the support of Movistar+ (SP)
Directed by Sara Gutiérrez Galve



Max is in his mid-thirties and lives with Emma, his intimate friend. An unexpected news makes lot of doubts and worries grow inside of Max pushing him to go out at midnight. The night she moves is the portrait of a friendship, their breakup and the strange and transforming walk through the night of Barcelona.

This film could be defined as a spontaneous and sincere dramatic comedy. The plot introduces us into the intimate intimacy of Max and Emma to reflect on such absolute issues as friendship, love, relationships and coexistence. The tone that frames the film stands out for its freshness, the casual naturalness and the absurd and fantastic character of the mundane. The style is apparently white and friendly but has a more acidic and far-fetched background that appears as the film progresses and night falls.

The night she moves portrays Max and Emma and with them a conflict and a generational stage: a friendship, a way of feeling and this wandering that characterizes the vital state of today’s youth. That is why the film speaks directly to an audience of about 20-35 years and is at the same time seductive to those spectators with interest to understand contemporary forms of coexistence.

GANG

17’ (2019)


Short film produced by Nanouk Films (SP) with the support of ICAA (SP) and ICEC (SP)
Directed by Àlex Sardà



Igor is new to his cousin’s group of friends and to almost everything that a person of his age is supposed to have done. As the first night they hang out together is played out through laughter, drinking on the street and the presence of unknown girls, Igor feels like a stranger who doesn’t know how to be himself.

One of the girls, Laura, is quick to catch his attention and that of the rest of the boys, and brings with her the possibility that this somewhat failing party may improve. At the end of the night all that will remain is Laura, the boys and a room in which the party can continue.

At home, although Laura demonstrates control over the rest of the group, the night becomes a competition between the boys to see who can come out on top. Being the one who gets closest to Laura and fitting into the group will force Igor into an ultimately extreme situation. GANG is a journey into group-mentality, impulse, and those experiences that men very often keep quiet, the masculinity that devours us.



LA NOVA ESCOLA

LESSONS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL 85’ (2020)


Feature film produced by Nanouk Films
Directed by Ventura Durall
With the support of TVC (SP) and ICEC (SP)

What is the purpose of school today? This question led to an educational revolution launched by the Escola Nova 21 programme. "Lessons for a new school" follows the programme, which is based on the learning of skills and which has generated an educational revolution in Catalonia, during the three years of its existence. Observing the phenomenon from the perspective of our species and analysing its historical and scientific context by listening to the most qualified voices in science, the film delves into the adventure of its promoters and those who have been at the heart of this experiment when the new methods were implemented. Can an education system be successfully changed from the bottom up? Only time will tell, but the seed for rethinking the education of the citizens of the future has come to stay. And it is unstoppable.

ALCALDESSA

ADA FOR MAYOR 85’ (2016)


Documentary feature film produced by Nanouk Films (SP) with the support of ICEC (SP) 
Directed by Pau Faus



Ada Colau, a well known activist against evictions in Spain, decides to run for Mayor of Barcelona. Surrounded by a team with little experience in institutional politics, Ada speaks about her doubts and thoughts during this vertiginous journey. The film combines the enthusiasm surrounding the construction of a new political movement with the inner struggle of someone who fears becoming what has so often questioned. The result is a powerful and inspiring approach to a politician as you have never seen before.

DEAD SLOW AHEAD

71’ (2015)


Documentary feature film produced by Nanouk Films (SP), El Viaje (SP) and Bucalupo Films (FR)
Directed by Mauro Herce



A freighter crosses the ocean. The hypnotic cadence of its gears reveals the continuous movement of the machinery devouring its workers: the last gestures of the old trade of the sailors, disappearing under the automaton rhythm of the 21st century. Perhaps it is a ship drifting, or the last specimen of a species in extinction with its motors spinning, unstoppable.

Directed by Àlex Sardà

Famélic Sessions were raised as live performances by bands from the Famèlic Records label. It had the intention of creating a unique piece for each artist. This joint version summarizes these live performances, offering at the same time a reflection on the fleetingness of movement around the seal and the diversity of their bands.

THE WILD YEARS

70’ (2013)


Documentary feature film produced by Nanouk Films
In coproduction with TVC (SP), with the support of ICAA (SP) and ICEC (SP)
Directed by Ventura Durall



Three streetkids wander the streets of Addis Abeba. They try to survive by using their inventiveness, committing minor thefts and supporting each other solidly united.
Homesickness, chance and necessity however make them venture a journey towards the north of Ethiopia. A journey during which they will experience unusual adventures before being reunited with their families whom they decided to leave when they were still little. The kids will then have to deal with the fears and memories that have arisen during the trip under the new
circumstances, with the past being vividly present.

In Addis Abeba, the Ethiopian capital, over 270.000 street kids live without their parents and almost forgotten by law and society. Daniel, a boy from the countryside, is 9 years old when he arrives in the city. He meets Habtom and Yohannes, both aged 12, who live in an abandoned car. They first don’t want to accept him in their group but after they overcome some initial conflicts they eventually become friends. Together, they share the hard life in the city. They lead adult lives – although they are still children. But they are smart and inventive and manage to survive on petty thefts.

A year passes by. When homesickness, feelings of responsibility and the problems with the rivalling gang of street kids increase to an intolerable level they decide to return to their poor home villages to visit their parents whom they left behind many years ago. Like little stones that are taken away with the river they start the long journey towards the north of the vast and unknown country, by bus, boat, hitchhiking and by foot. Our little heroes meet a girl who is also on her way to reunite with her family. They share some days of friendship and complicity.

However, sexual tensions between the girl and the two older boys soon arise. She tells them her views on the boys’ lives and questions the values they have got used to accept as their own. The girl finally decides to split and continue on her own. Meanwhile we discover more of Daniel’s personality and its ever more complex and darker sides. He confesses having killed his stepmother and that this is the true reason why he is fleeing from Addis Abeba.

The three boys buy expensive presents for their families and then also separate – Daniel and Habtom head towards Habtom’s home village where his mother is awaiting him, Yohannes continues on his own to meet his father. When they finally reach their destinations, they realise that more things have changed since they last saw their parents than they expected.

THE PLEASURE ISLAND

(2016)


Commercial film for Temporada Alta Festival
Directed by Salvador Sunyer
German Design Award 2019 & Grand Laus Award 2017
Sergi Cameron as a producer, and also editor and music supervisor 

A dangerous idea has been imposed: Culture’s only purpose is to entertain. It’s a luxury. Why does this place – from the outside – look like a sunny amusement park ? Maybe we have sold ourselves poorly and cheaply. Can we change it, or is it useless? It’s urgent to point the gun at us. If we consider culture as pure entertainment, we’ll be like Pinocchio on the island of pleasure: playing, sleeping and laughing, while we become donkeys that only serve to load stones.
