 | Román Cadafalch Garaventa besides bm366. (click photo to enlarge) Román is a young film director, graduated in England and at the beginning of his career. His next project is a documentary about 'borders' and our meeting is a part of his reconnaissance of the subject. Because of the pouring rain, we do only a short trip from Port du Portillon to give him a taste of my passion: the esfr- bordermarkers |
 | Bm367 (click photo to enlarge) I wonder if Román likes the word 'career'. In our discussion afterwards, he shared his thoughts about the 'instagram-matisation' of our culture: image driven, ego driven, instant, fleeting. He is missing the depth of a more self-less diving into and exploring of a subject. |

 | Román besides bm368 (click photo to enlarge) After our stroll we drive to Bossóst to talk further. As said before, Román has his own ideas about filmmaking. The art form of documentary fits him well in this respect. All this explains perhaps why so little can be found on the internet on him personnally. His works so far can be found on www.imdb.com. An interview about his documentary Pan Seco (in Catalan) can be see here. |

Then - after our conversation - I drive from Bossóst to Arette in the Basque Country. |
 | In the rain I pitch my tent on the camping. (click photo to enlarge) |
