Project
At Residència Connecta I will coordinate the residents’ activities and mentor them in the developpement of their project: the collective creation of a presentation dossier for two shortfilms.
Organizing Connecta residence with Faberllull Olot has been a very satisfying experience.Our projects share the belief that to make projects a reality, to stimulate creativity, it is important to create spaces that are part of everyday life, where to share with others and be nurtured by the exchange. Sharing this idea has been fundamental and very advantageous for the preparation and during the residency. As for the organization and communication with Faberllull Olot for the day to day, it has been very fluid and efficient. Communications for practical matters with the hotel have been carried out by Faberllull, which has allowed the coordinators to concentrate on the activities of the residence.
