“A Cinephile with no memory” Olga Iglesias. When I was a child I used to quarrel with my dad for the only TV set that we had at home: he wanted soccer, I wanted films. We reached a equitable agreement, he would watch one time of the match and I would watch a part of the film. To compensate, on the weekends my mum used to take me to the Atlántico, a film theatre in Barcelona where they used to premier Disney’s films, there I had my breakfast. This was my start in cinema… Teaching Certificat and specialised in Philology, I have been part of the FEDERACIÓ CATALANA DE CINECLUBS since 2007 as General Coordinator, Programming Activity Resonsible, project specialist and administration responsible, and coordinator of the relation with Festivals and Showcases as well as responsible of the project FilmoXarxa. Moreover, I have been founding member of the Cineclub Barcelona Espai de Cinema (BEC) and I am co-responsible of activities and programming of the cineclub. Last but not least, I complete my devotion to the seventh as Codirector of the Mostra “MIRADOCS. Mirades documentals de Barcelona” and Member of the Selection Commission of the “Mostra de Cinema Àrab i Mediterrani de Barcelona”.
