PLAYING WITH REALITY
12 DEC| 16.30h | Teatro Principal
Playing with reality. Whatever this is: answering when my name is called; getting out of bed every day; entering a dark room with unknown people for hours without talking. She seems to always be ready to transform us or, on the contrary, to make herself available to us to be transformed, even if it is only once. She seems to be outside, constantly questioning us; or inside, placing us in that same outside.
In any case, there is no way to elude her. During the time that the workshop lasted, we have looked for ways to transform reality (whatever it is) through cinema and we did it with a simple gesture, bringing in the camera into everyday situations in our environment, as if we were hacking it. For that purpose, we checked how filmmakers, artists and thinkers faced this same task, and we analyze each of the students’ proposals to get the most appropriate formalization. We like playing and hazarding, and we always respect the aesthetic sensitivity and freedom of each one.
In this context, and during the workshop sessions, ten students developed their short film projects with the purpose of sharing the final results.
In the first session we suggested basic concepts where we could start to picture the work, supported by references and bibliography. After this, the students expressed their preferences and gave a short presentation where we discussed the basic aspects of each project.
In the second session we visualize the developing projects and discuss their evolution, paying attention to their visual and sound formalization, as well as their conceptual framing.
In the third and final session, the short films were already in an advanced stage of production. We solved doubts and finalized details towards its final assembly and public exhibition at the inaugural session of the 8th edition of Novos Cinemas.

Berio Molina (A Fonsagrada, 1979) is an artist and filmmaker. His works enquire into the relationships between divergence, language and listening. In 2019, he premiered his first feature film 7 Limbos (alongside Alexandre Cancelo) at the X Mostra de Cinema Periférico (S8).
His work has been exhibited at international festivals such as Festival Márgenes (Madrid), Istambul International Experimental FF (Istanbul), FIVA (Argentina), LEM (Barcelona), ZEMOS98 (Seville), Curtocircuíto (Santiago de Compostela) and in art centres such as CGAC (Santiago de Compostela), MARCO (Vigo), La Casa Encendida (Madrid) or Laboral (Gixón).
After graduating in Fine Arts at the Fine Arts Faculty in Pontevedra, Molina completed a Master’s degree in digital art at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and a Master’s degree in Computer Graphic Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, thanks to a scholarship from Fundación Pedro Barrié de la Maza.
Molina has been interested in collective creation since 1999, being a member of the Flexo performance group, the aural studies group escoitar.org and the art and free action group alg-a.
He combines his artistic activity with research at the Fine Arts Faculty of Pontevedra, where he developed his doctoral thesis on acousmatic writing in the context of the postalpha generation. As part of this research process, in 2017 Molina published the book Setras, the final result of the special Puchi Award jury prize awarded by La Casa Encendida. He is currently working on his second feature film, As Aspas, with the production company Sétima, and on the short film Furada Negra. Unha memoria do inframundo, still in production.
