General information

There exists a dissident and combative Catalunya, which resists and survives beneath the official storyline. It is a Catalunya where - since the times of the fraudulent Transition - disobedience, dissidence or self-organization in the face of poverty have been palpable… just as the mode of repression in order to eradicate it has been palpable. “Rebels”, a full-length documentary, sets out to investigate, with a zoom lens fixed onto the last four decades. Beginning in 1974 with the assassination of Salvador Puig Antich, we turn up flat on our faces in the so-called “crisis” of 2008, to see the struggles of here and now, analyzing the political, economic, social and cultural context. We encompass the whole situation, in order to understand how and why social movements have arisen, grown and organized themselves; everything, in order to demonstrate the fundamental principles of action-reaction in both directions: social movements vs. the system and the system vs. social movements.

Description of the project. Main features, strengths and differentials.

Throughout these four decades of social unrest many individuals and collectives in Catalunya have opted to draw up plans of resistance and disobedience and construct alternatives to the prevailing models.

“Rebels”, a full-length documentary, is based on the testimony and dialogue of people who have formed part of this reality. They tell us, in person, about their experiences and what they have learned. Moreover, we have extensive archive material thanks to the tenacious efforts of those who, with camera in hand, have been recording the micro history of the last forty years. It is a history interwoven with three essential ingredients - the economic, social, political and cultural framework of each moment, and marked by the repercussions which each element created, typically negative, in diverse areas such as ecology, social fabric, popular culture or the freedom of expression, to mention but a few.

Within the combination of these ingredients we see struggles, actions and practices which form references and create trends. We get to know the motives behind them, and the impulses which allow them to grow. We get a feel for the social and political function they are developing and we unravel the legitimacy and motivation behind their activity outside, or on the edge of laws made in the interests of, and dictated by, certain lobbies. To finish, we look at the disturbing moment in which this power lets loose the machinery of repression in order to stamp out these struggles at the root. It has been a surgical operation of limited success as it never managed to achieve its objective: years later, these older aspirations continue to germinate. Like the ivy root, new sprouts are born from old injuries, from small victories or rekindled hopes.

“Rebels” aims to pay homage to all those courageous people who, collectively, have been the creative force behind alternatives during the last four decades.

Why this is important

Our main objective is to enpower the collectives at the level of communication. We are taking the first step with the publication of this full-length film, thus making their struggles and aims visible to all.

It is also important for us to give visibility to dissidence with respect to society in general, and look at the partial and oppositional propoganda of the conventional communication mediums which are against it.

This documentary touches on many subjects. It is an attempt to show disobedience as a characteristic and common factor of Catalunya; as a creator of new realities, arising from extremely varied sensibilities or very different needs.
