IBIZA JAZZ: THE EXPERIENCE
Forming a jazz band, with different musicians every year, that plays at the "Eivissa Jazz" festival and then disappears, is something unique.
It is an original event that provokes many questions.
How do they do it? What does it take to have such ability and confidence? Do they always succeed? What happens when things don't work out between them? How do they experience it? Do they have doubts? All these questions and more are what this documentary aims to answer.
LES ÚLTIMES GONELLES
“Les últimes Gonelles d'Eivissa" gives voice to the last five "payesas" who today continue to dress in the traditional style of the Ibizan countryside. Through their memories we will learn about the life of women in rural Ibiza from the early twentieth century to the present day. We will discover their way of understanding the world, their desires, and why they have maintained their customs on an island transformed by tourism and its consequences.
Maria de ca na Magdalena, Eulària de can Caravall, Pepa de can Vicent Marí, Catalina de can Joan den Gall and Maria de can Tià will be accompanied in this journey through time by the writer Vicent Marí Tur (Botja) and the anthropologist Lina Sansano, as well as the singers Pepita Tur and Maria Cardona for the soundtrack of the documentary.
THE TRANSITION
It is a Pauxa production written and directed by Pablo Alcántara and Antonio Viñarás, commissioned by the Consell Insular de Ibiza.
This 85-minute-long documentary draws from interviews of 24 women and men who lived during the Spanish Transition.

Among the people interviewed, we have the main living politicians of the time, but also journalists, housewives, teachers and businessmen. Thus, we can see and hear Abel Matutes, Antoni Planells 'Malalt', Pilar Bonet, Antoni Marí Calbet, Néstor Torres, Isidor Marí, Maribel Torres or Enrique Ramón Fajarnés.
A NIGHT IN THE ANGEL'S LAIR
Summer, 1971. The dictator Francisco Franco travels to the quiet island of Ibiza for a meeting that could change, forever, the destiny of the nation.
It is not an ordinary short film. It consists of two sequences from the script of a feature film shot in the form of a promotional trailer for commercial reason. It was premiered in the Coming Soon section of the Sitges Film Festival 2015.
RESIDENTIAL SQUAT
Our “Residencial Okupa” is a half-constructed building resulting from the real estate crisis of 2008. It is inhabited by different social typologies: whole families with school-age children, couples, lonely people, people with jobs, unemployed people, and people with and without papers.
Through four of these occupants, we will know what has pushed them to occupy the property and lead this kind of life with all the discomfort and health hazards that it entails. They will also help us to know about the daily life of the inhabitants of the "Residencial Okupa".
NO LIFE
Isabel is a seriously ill girl who is torn between life and death. Her parents, Pedro and María, have different points of view on how to act in this terrible situation.

IRRIGUIBLE
If you add an avant-garde visual artist who handles abstraction and conceptualism with a psychiatrist who loves his profession and an extroverted man who loves life, you get Lepoldo Irriguible.
MARGALIDA LLOGAT
Margalida is the Balearic pioneer in the defense of women's rights. She was a trade unionist in Ibiza in 1936 and was imprisoned and repressed by the fascist government that emerged from the coup d'état.
THE MEMORY OF THE PORT
Raul Zúrita, Juan Gelman, Humberto Akkabal, Ana Becciu, Yolanda Castaño and Antonio Colinas, among other great writers, open their hearts to us through poetry in an incomparable location: the island of Ibiza.
NEIGHBORS
The plot of "Vecinas" is a delirious story of "condominium terrorism" that narrates the vicissitudes of a pusillanimous doorman of a building (Pep Noguera). He is harassed and manipulated by two quirky neighbors (Otilia Laiz and Dolors Corderas) who have been at each other's throats for years. It is a black comedy in which the situation gets more and more tense leading up to a surprising ending.
This story has multiple perspectives: the comic, the dramatic, the urban horror, the social chronicle. Also, the "geek" universe is so fashionable nowadays. But the most incredible thing about this story, worthy of national black chronicle, is that it is born from real situations as seen in a report of a popular television program. During the writing process, these situations were conveniently modified and exaggerated for dramatic effect. It is, therefore, a work of fiction inspired by real events.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE MARIJUANA IN THE WORLD
A man sows a seed. With hard work, knowledge and care, he makes the plant grow. He harvests its fruits and uses and enjoys them.
This is called agriculture and has been practiced by humans for thousands of years.
If your neighbor, seeing the wonder of your harvest, wants to enjoy it too and offers you something in exchange for it, that is called trade. To a large extent, this is the basis of our society today.
In this road movie, through three cannabis cups we show the different personalities of the world of marijuana cultivation.
