Music and life

It didn't seem evident 16 years ago that there would be space in Barcelona for a festival of these characteristics. But queues started forming at cinemas and they had to hang the "sold out" sign on several occasions. Little by little it became an unmissable event and a seal of quality. Currently, many documentarians work on their projects with the goal of premiering at In-Edit. Something that fills Cristian Pascual, its director, with pride, as he belongs to a generation that grew up watching "Sputnik", the musical space from TV3's most creative and groundbreaking era.

For 11 days, In-Edit offers more than 50 titles that can be seen at Aribau cinema, CCCB, Etnia Barcelona, civic centers and libraries, in addition to the Inedit TV and Filmin platforms, and some screenings on Canal 33 and Betevé.

Among the wide and diverse program there is a generous sample of local production that gives clues about the good moment and vitality of the genre. Here are some titles:

• "Apolo. La juventud baila" is a docufiction that takes advantage of the 75th anniversary of the mythical dance hall to compose an ironic generational chronicle, directed by Marc Crehuet.
• "Andrea Motis: la trompeta silenciosa" is a close portrait of the acclaimed Barcelona jazz trumpeter, saxophonist and singer by Ramon Tort, a filmmaker with extensive experience in the field.
• "Els ulls s'aturen de créixer", by Mallorcan Javier García Lerín, is a peculiar and emotional portrait of singer-songwriter Miquel Serra.
• "O espírito de Pucho Boedo" is the latest work by the award-winning and experimental Galician documentarian Lois Patiño. In this case, he places his camera in a 70s-style chalet where the punk trio Novedades Carminha tries to find the most danceable and tropical sound of their career.
• "Yo soy la rumba" is the portrait and tribute to Pere Pubill Calaf, "Peret", undisputed king of Catalan rumba, by filmmaker Paloma Zapata.
