World Day for Audiovisual Heritage

Jan Baca Pericot, Europe’s most award-winning amateur filmmaker, will be honoured with a screening of a selection from his extensive body of work, ranging from fiction to documentaries and animation. His career, which began in the 1960s, has earned him a place of honour in the film world thanks to his originality and innovative technique.

In addition, the public will have the unique opportunity to see «Tatuaje», Bigas Luna’s first film, in a version meticulously restored by the Centre for Conservation and Restoration of the Filmoteca de Cataluña (2CR). The screening will be even more special thanks to the participation of Betty Luna, the filmmaker’s daughter, and Consuelo Tura, the costume designer, who will share anecdotes and details behind the creation of this work.

This event not only celebrates these filmmakers’ individual contributions to cultural heritage, but also underlines the importance of preserving the audiovisual legacy that defines and shapes our collective understanding of art and history. A day that promises to be a fascinating visual journey through time and cinematic creativity.
