Séptimo Piso: Morir a Solas (Seventh Floor: Dying Alone)
This project seeks to portray and raise awareness of the reality of what it means to be elderly. It focuses in particular on the fact that Spanish society is ageing, while the birth rate continues to fall, and it asks whether this sector of society receives the same levels of attention as children, young people and adults. It also reveals that between 10 and 20 per cent of elderly people suffer abuse and mistreatment, whether these are the result of conscious actions or the uncritical acceptance of social custom.
Morir antes de nacer (Death before birth)
This project tackles the topic of perinatal death and grieving throughout the world, through the stories and experiences of women and their families, and the views of experts. This documentary lifts the lid on this phenomenon, a social taboo that must be discussed if we are to do away with the stigma that surrounds it, provide the health care that mothers need, and enable people to grieve their loss in a way that is acknowledged within their culture.

Documentary “Només era un gos” (Just a dog) by Irene Domènech and Haydée Villa
This project considers the story of a woman who is being abused and prefers to risk her life rather than be separated from her dog, a condition attached to the offer of a place in a women's refuge. This documentary describes a situation that affects 70 per cent of women who suffer abuse, and which also affects their pets. The project is supported by Mc Guffin Estudio Audiovisual.
