    The year Franco dies

    🟥 I landed in Barcelona to study journalism — two banned short films under my arm. Franco had just died, but his regime was still very much alive. February 1976. I was there for the very first demonstrations of the post-Franco era: Catalans shouting in the streets for freedom, amnesty and autonomy. The riot police… Read more

  • L’année où meurt Franco

    L’année où meurt Franco

    🟥 J’arrive à Barcelone pour étudier le journalisme, deux courts métrages interdits par la censure de Franco sous le bras. Je filme en 16 mm les premières manifestations du post‑franquisme, lorsque les Catalans réclament liberté, amnistie et statut d’autonomie dans la rue. Les anti-emeutes finiront par briser ma caméra Arriflex à coups de matraque. À Paris,… Read more
