The workshop is led by Franco Lollim, a film director who studied film at La Fémis in France and directed the short films Like Everyone (Grand Jury Prize, Clermont-Ferrand 2008) and Rodri (Directors' Fortnight 2012). His feature debut, Gente de bien, premiered at Critics' Week in Cannes in 2014, and his second film Litigant opened that same section in 2019. He founded Evidencia Films to produce his own films and those of other directors with strong ideas and unique looks.

There will also be Capucine Mahé, a lawyer specializing in intellectual property. He practiced at the law firms Klugman Avocats, Taylor Wessing and Assous Avocats in Paris. His relationship with cinema began at the age of 15, when he starred in Patricia Mazuy's film Saint-Cyr. As an adult, she worked at Unifrance, in New York, at the artistic agency Artmedia and at the production and distribution company Haut Et Court, in Paris. She has been a producer at Evidencia Films since 2014.

Until March 26, you will be able to see the works of the artist Lorena Díaz and the artist Juan Cuadros, with which the FUGA began its artistic program in 2022.

The exhibitions can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

'Gestures to delay memory' by Lorena Díaz

In the FUGA 1 and 1.5 room, the artist Lorena Díaz exhibits a series of photographs in which the protagonists cover their identity through the use of hoods. According to the FUGA, this work refers the viewer to question the concept of identity in a political and social environment through science, philosophy and of course the plastic. “His work is a system of thinking about reality, in which the presence of the body and the useful traces left by the future of the city flow.”

'Southern Polar Constellation' by Juan Cuadros

Exhibited in exhibition hall 2, you can see a series of photographs where the artist Juan Cuadros takes the viewer to accompany him on a journey through Antarctica, where he did an artistic residency in 2019, in which the artist reconstructs the steps of the Norwegian explorer Roald Amudsen and the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott, who in 1911 were the first men to reach the South Pole, who on their journey faced all kinds of dangers, between real and imaginary.

For this exhibition Cuadros explores in his work the relationship between space and image, from photography, video and installations.
