Vicky Ramírez Solarte is an architect from Columbia but has been living in Barcelona for 11 years. Since coming to Spain in 1997 Vicky has obtained a master from the Universidad Politecnica de Cataluña and has worked in various architectural practises.
In 1999 she and Andrea Ercolino followed their passion for film and founded VOID*ZELIG, Spain’s first videoclub specialised in auteur cinema.
VOID*ZELIG not only offers a specialised video library which is accessible to all but it is also a space for people to meet, plan and realise projects within the realm of the audiovisual world.
L’Alternativa Festival de Cinema Independent de Barcelona
In Barcelona, “More than a Eurovision” will be shown as part of L’Alternativa, Barcelona’s renowned festival of independent film. L’Alternativa is a platform for the promotion and distribution of films, which for their innovative character, have difficulties to find a way into main exhibition and distribution circuits. L’Alternativa is also a meeting place for filmmakers, producers, programmers and distributors, and offers festival guests a video à la carte service, which includes all films in competition.
The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB)organizes and produces exhibitions, debates, festivals and concerts, programmes film cycles, courses and lectures, and encourages creation using new technologies and languages. It promotes artistic research in fields such as multimedia, backs research into exhibition formats, exports its in-house productions to other national and international arts centres, museums and institutions, and generates debate, thought and reflection on the theme of the city and the public domain, as well as other issues of current affairs. The CCCB also compiles materials that are available for public consultation, comprising its inheritance, its holdings and archives of exhibition formats, publications, digital archives, audiovisuals, and so on. It is a space open to groups of independent artists, creators and programmers, and to various bodies with which we have forged bonds over the years. Thanks to all of them, we can guarantee a quality multidisciplinary programme that furthers contemporary culture.
