Directing

Birthplace: Barcelona

Antoni Martí Gich (Barcelona, 1947) is a documentary filmmaker and film director whose work has been forged at the crossroads between technical experimentation and a critical view of culture. He began his career in audiovisual media with amateur films in 8 mm and Super 8, exploring the expressive possibilities of domestic formats, before moving on to professional cinema in 16 mm and 35 mm. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with key figures in Catalan literature and film theory, such as Quim Monzó and Àngel Quintana, thus contributing to a dialogue between disciplines. He was also the author of newsreels promoted by the Catalan Film Institute (ICC), in which he bore witness to a period of cultural transformation in the country.
