Abstract:
This work is a first approach to Master in Creation Documentary in Pompeu Fabra University (1997-2009), in which fourteen films have already been produced, apart from a number of other short pieces, by its students. Besides, the work places this postgraduate study in its historical context (Spanish and International Documentary History), and also in a socio-geographical environment, Barcelona, a city where filmmakers and artists have found proper conditions for creation and production, in the last years. The work considers, as well, the study as a pioneer university initiative, which is being followed by many others all around Spain and Europe and is yet seen as an international reference. Moreover, it establishes a possible relationship between this new Catalan documentary cinema and other fiction films, developed in the region, a fact that means for some criticism that a new Catalan cinema is born.
