Out of coverage, Three ages, three history / 2008
Pepa G. Ramos
Synopsis: Two women: one born in Lleida, the other one in Ruanda, one alive, the other one dead. A mineral today indispensable. And a pioneering decision of the National Audience. ' Out of Coverage ' is developed on these three axes.
In 1997, Flors Sirera was murdered. Her death, in the middle of a major humanitarian tragedy, encloses a history scarcely known: the relation between a mineral present in all computer and mobile telephones, the coltan, and the death of million of people. Flors Sirera and other eight Spaniards are among them. . Flors knew nothing about this mineral, currently irreplaceable for the 'Information Society', when she came to Rwanda in 1994 as a development worker for ' World Doctors'. Beatrice Umutesi knew also nothing about it when she began to cross by foot two thousand kilometres surrounded with death and horror in the middle of the exodus. These two women never knew each other. Nevertheless, their lives are tied.

South Border / 2002
Álex Muñoz
Synopsis: In the border, the line as a principle of property acquires its major dimension, defining physically the sphere of the relations. Every day, those who cross it reconstruct these imaginary lines, re-defining the traditional geography and occupying the non-places, where "the others " exist on a temporary basis. "The Others ", who are not considered citizens, are phantasmagoric pieces of a flexible market. They are almost invisible beings permanently controlled by the technology. Under the pretext of a major civil safety one separates them of the public spaces reserved for the citizens with rights. The border, indispensable to justify a diffuse European identity, is supported by means of the frontier, and monitored militarization exploited by ONGs and multinationals..
