REGISTRATION

A meeting point to get to know in depth the work of various audiovisual professions at the hands of expert women who explain the day-to-day of their work in conversation with the attending public. With the collaboration of the Catalan Film Academy.

This year we will focus on the work of two new profiles that have emerged in recent years: eco managers and intimacy coordinators. With:

Lola Calvo

Filmmaker, intimacy coordinator and teacher. Her work moves between fiction and documentary and has a strong social component and questions gender roles, sexuality, body and femininity.
After ten years in London and three in Medellín, she returned to Barcelona in 2021 where she quickly established herself within the cultural network of the city, combining the tasks of intimacy coordination with teaching and film research.
She is co-founder of RED ICIE and AESCI, a collaborator of the Department against abuse in the audiovisual of the Catalan Film Academy, she is a professor in the Master of Direction at ESCAC and is part of the collective of intimacy coordinators of Catalonia Soma.
She has led the intimacy coordination department of "La Mesías" (Movistar +), "Yo adicto" (Disney +), "La última noche en Tremor" (Netflix), "Nudes" (3Cat), or "El Mal Invisible" (3Cat and Mediapro), among others.

Natalia Ejarque

An environmentalist and filmmaker, she finds her passion in sustainable development and reducing the carbon footprint of the film industry.
In 2021 she designed a best practices guide for the film “O Corpo Aberto” with Fasten Films and co-directed the production of the feature film “Un Lugar Común”, an opera by Celia Giraldo (2024).
She worked as Eco Assistant for the series “Esto No Es Suecia” (2023) by Nanouk and Funicular Films, being the first series at a national level to obtain the Green Film Certificate. And more recently, she has been Eco Manager of the Sustainability Department of the feature film called “HARTA”, which will be released in 2025 and will also have the Green Film Lab seal.
Currently, she is part of the Sustainability Department of 3Cat to develop a strategic plan, which seeks to define new criteria and more sustainable production processes.

Eva Moreno

She has built her career around sustainability, starting in the organic food sector, where she gained knowledge of organic processes and responsible resource management. She then moved into the audiovisual industry, working on filming locations, where she honed her logistical skills.
She joined Waste Management on Set from the start, where she specialised in waste management in productions, developing strategies to reduce the environmental impact on set. This led her to train as an Eco Manager, a role she currently plays in advertising productions managed by the consultancy K is for Knowledge, where she continues to implement sustainable practices in each project.

Cristina Vidal

Actress and intimacy coordinator. Her connection with the world of audiovisual and theatre began more than 20 years ago, when she began her acting studies. She has trained with professionals such as Nancy Tuñón, John Strasberg and Javier Galitó-Cava among others, always complementing it with physical disciplines such as Contemporary Dance, View-Points and Butoh with the aim of deepening her work and body awareness.
Over the years, her professional career has always been linked to the world of artistic production from different roles (actress, assistant director and production assistant). She has also collaborated with Arrels Fundació developing theatre projects with people at risk of social exclusion.
In 2021 she began her training in Intimacy Coordination, which culminates with the certification program of Principal Intimacy Professionals, endorsed by SAG-AFTRA.
She has participated as an intimacy coordinator in projects such as “La Última noche en Tremor”, “Yo, adicto”, “Dos tumbas” and “El mal”, as well as in the ESCAC Directing Masters.
