WALLS WINS THE OXFAM GLOBAL JUSTICE AWARD

The award we have just received in Amsterdam defines perfectly what Arena is. We are people that make useful documentaries. The quality of our films is proved by IDFA, the reference documentary film festival in Europe and in the whole world. The social utility of our film is guaranteed by OXFAM, the reference NGO about development, political transformation and fight for justice. Receiving the Global Justice Award makes us being more grateful to those who have helped us to make “Walls”, starting from its main characters. It also makes us feel the responsibility and the illusion for continuing to tell real stories that serve to open world’s eyes, encouraging to make it a fairer place.

SCREENINGS

It has just finished a very exciting phase, in which we have shown our film “Muros” for the first time. First in San Sebastián , inside the International Film Festival. After that, in Pamplona, in Golem theatres, with our closest people. And finally in Cineteca Matadero, the house of the cinema about reality, the place in which our film feels more comfortable. There have been intense days, full of emotions. The cycle is now closed, all we have done is meaningful only if it gets to the heart of the audience, it is useless to tell our stories if there is nobody on the other side listening. It has been a joy. Thank you very much to all the people who have been there, on the other side of the screen. Now it starts a different phase, the film has its own life and it travels to other cities, other cinemas and viewers. We will tell you anything we know about it. Tell us too whatever you know, the film is not ours, it belongs to everyone.
