Cinema Transhumant will take cinema with values to mountain refuges and natural environments

  • Cinema Transhumant is a new itinerant cinema project, committed to social action, as part of the Terra G· Film Festival that takes place in the summer in various Pyrenean regions.
  • Alcarràs will be screened three times outdoors at mountain refuges and natural settings, accompanied by community dinners.
  • Sis nits d’agost (Six Nights in August), a film shot in Ripollès about Lluís Maria Xirinacs, will be screened at the same location where it was filmed, Pla de Pegot in Ogassa, which is also the site where the activist and philosopher chose to pass away.

The success of the Terra G· Film Festival, which in 2021 expanded to twenty-three towns, forty-eight different venues, 2,300 in-person attendees, and 12,500 online viewers, has led to the creation of a new project. This initiative takes a step forward in bringing cinema to rural areas, separate from the main festival held in the fall. A project with its own identity that spans itinerant sessions from May to September: CINEMA TRANSHUMANT.

Cinema Transhumant: “We are film carriers traveling from village to village.”

Inspired by transhumance, the seasonal migration of herds in search of pastures depending on the time of year: summer pastures or grazing fields and winter pastures. Transhumance also involved the exchange of cultural knowledge and interactions between different geographically distant territories.

The TRANSHUMANT sessions are held mainly outdoors, as summer screenings, where we bring our open-air screen, films, workshops, and parallel activities to different towns along the traditional transhumance routes of Girona and the Pyrenees. These sessions are hosted in places and for communities where cinema rarely reaches.
Just as when a herd of livestock arrived in a village after a long journey, the traveling culture impacts and transforms the places where it is showcased.
The main goal is, through the values that cinema brings in a pleasant atmosphere, to spark personal change. At TRANSHUMANT, we believe that with the individual power of each person, it is indeed possible to change the immediate world.
The films to be screened go beyond the catalog of the Terra G· Film Festival, but all share a common theme: a committed message and the transmission of human and environmental values. There will be a total of 33 sessions across 26 different venues.

 

Transhumant festival

It is a film festival committed to social transformation.

"We are from the mountains. We are from inland. We are a village festival that extends to other villages and to places or communities where culture rarely reaches. We open our view to the world from the Pyrenees."

It is a project led by Joaquim Roqué, who has been the director and promoter of the festival since 2014. It has showcased national and international works that focus on social awareness, environmental issues, or some form of activism in favor of human rights and cultural diversity. 

All of them have been shown to regular audiences who could be those of any other festival.

Often, festivals remain in the phase of raising awareness among audiences, and the awards they grant only give a certain communicative relevance to the works.

However, TRANSHUMANT takes a step forward, moving from "theory" to practice. The project's main goal is to transcend beyond the cinematic experience.

Cinema is a powerful tool for transforming consciences, habits, and attitudes... Immersively, and with activities that add value to the films: testimonies, discussion panels, film forums, educational workshops... We also aim to reach another type of audience—viewers with social or humanitarian needs. Designing actions to help them gain perspective on their personal situation, creating empathy with other groups or issues that will help them overcome their own circumstances. Using cinema as the instrument to achieve this.

The TRANSHUMANT FESTIVAL has its origins in the Golluts of Ribes, a community of people who were discriminated against for their physical particularities until their complete disappearance in the mid-20th century. They measured less than 1.2 meters in height, most of them had goiter, a harmless but unattractive malformation. Scientists of the time described them as a subrace.
