El Salón del Cine Y Las Series, Una Mezcla de Géneros Para Cinéfilos y Seriéfilos

The Cinema and TV Show Room, A Mix of Genres for Movie Buffs and TV Series Fans

From January 27th to 29th, the second edition of the Film Fair at Farga de L'Hospitalet was held. Three days that became a mix of genres for film and series enthusiasts. A mishmash where attendees could have a good time with stands dedicated to cult sagas ("Star Trek," "Star Wars," "Stargate," "V"), collector's items, book sales, DVDs, merchandising, role-playing games, manga, anime, video games, and virtual reality. A paradise for fans of all genres, movements, and passions moving through an immense space with an aroma between flea market and retro nostalgic space; bags full of cinema-related objects, exhibitions of movie cars, sci-fi props, and photos with mythical characters from the history of fantasy cinema.

In addition to everything related to the biggest fan phenomenon, the fair included a perhaps less fun but more interesting section focused on the promotion and dissemination of cinema and series. This area featured different film schools, acting, specialists, dubbing, and drawing. FX Animation Barcelona 3D & Film School participated with a stand, a small cinema room where school works were screened, and where a film course was raffled off. We also found the presence of some small production companies trying to promote their low-budget series and films in a kind of crowdfunding extension.

High-level Conferences

Lastly, we could highlight the round tables, conferences, and workshops held during the weekend. A large stage hosted photography, filmmaking, and acting workshops with audience participation. We enjoyed interesting round tables with directors, actors, producers, and special effects specialists featuring David Martí, Marc Crehuet, Ángel Sala, Toni Albá, Mar Coll, Clara Segura, among others. FX Animation played a prominent role in the fair's conferences by leading two of them. The first was given by Viviana Niño, a post-production teacher at the school, and the second was led by Francesc Bolló, a VFX teacher with experience in the visual effects team on films like "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Jungle Book," both Oscar-nominated for best VFX. FX Animation's last notable participation was in the Live Writing Slam, where two students of the school, Cristina Díez and Mario Santiago, competed. A fun and curious contest likened writing to jazz, with improvisation as the creative engine.

Some conferences also stood out, such as the one given by Toni de la Torre on "The passion unleashed by series and its why," "The art in series" by Raquel Crisóstomo; "The producer and director relationship" through a conversation between Mateo Gil and Ibón Comenzaba; "The role of the showrunner" by Javier Olivares, creator of "El Ministerio del Tiempo"; "The upcoming Asian cinema" by Cine Asia; "The actor's profession" through an honest talk between Juan Cruz and Roberto Álamo; and "The composition of soundtracks" by Dani Trujillo.
