“STRUGGLE FOR URBAN SPACE”
Script and Direction: Jacobo Sucari
Music: Joan Saura
Length: 59min 30sec
Languages: Catalan/ Spanish with English subtitles.
SYNOPSIS
The “Struggle for Urban Space” is one of Jacobo Sucari's documentary series works on the old factory district of Poblenou in the city of Barcelona. This line of research on urban transformation has been developed by Jacobo Sucari in documentaries and audiovisual installations over the last 11 years.
The documentary “Struggle for Urban Space” deals with the dramatic changes that urban development is inflicting on the landscape and the inhabitants of Barcelona’s Poblenou district. This old industrial neighbourhood of factories and workshops is suffering a major process of transformation as a result of the City Council’s Regeneration Programme known as 22@. It aims to convert Poblenou into an important centre for state-of-the-art technology and associated services. “Struggle for Urban Space” shows the reactions of the different neighbourhood organisations, displaced factory workers, artists sharing workshops and squatters active in the area.
The documentary works its way into this whole social fabric reflecting the conflict between the old and the new, between heritage as a social memory and progress as some beautiful angel of doom.
Profile
Documentary filmmaker, musical improvisation instrumentalist and writer.
PhD Professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Barcelona (UB).
My artistic work is based on the intersection of image, text and sound, constructed in a synchronic way, as an audiovisual composition. In my videography the narratives are often abstract or experimental; in others, closer to the documentary genre, the plot assumes a dramatic development.
My works have been presented in different spaces and contexts, both in the artistic tradition such as museums and galleries, as well as in the cinematographic tradition: festivals, cinemas and programming in different TV channels.
ONGOING PROJECTS:
I am currently working on a writing project within the framework of the essay on technopolitics entitled "Chronicles of Mundo Chungo", and on a documentary film "The Myth of the Absent", about the philosopher Walter Benjamin and the border crossing between France and Spain where he died in 1940.
