Alfonso de Sierra, Luis Escribano, Ramón Massa, Ces Martí and Enric Bents were “Els 5 QKs”, a group of amateur filmmakers who, in 1975, decided to get together and create a transgressive and courageous filmography breaking social, religious, and political boundaries; placing the faggot as leading role hero: proud of himself, shameless, beyond good and evil. In this documentary film, Luis Escribano and Ces Martí, only living members of the group, review, alongside some actors, their creative process and what those films, forgotten till now, meant to Barcelona during La Trancisión.

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.

The Fall

The Fall tells the remarkable story of a South African barefoot runner, an American track-and-field prodigy, and the events behind one of the most memorable moments in sporting history – the 1984 LA Olympics. The film charts two journeys, from rural South Africa under apartheid and the rolling hills of Southern California, to the starting line of the women’s 3,000 metres. It uncovers a tale of betrayal and exploitation, of the blurred lines between politics, media and sport, and of the dedication and sacrifice required to compete at the highest level. It’s a story that split governments and divided nations, but at its heart is a tale of two young women who, despite the turmoil in their lives, just wanted to run.
