PALMARÉS TERRA GOLLUT FILM FESTIVAL 2022
AWARD FOR THE BEST FEATURE FILM
Indestructibles, by Xavier Aldekoa, Alfons Rodríguez and José Bautista
"If necessary, we will die for him". With only 12 years, the two child soldiers, Rodrigue and Gloire, serve as personal guards of General Mbura, head of a rebel group in the jungle of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Both dream of escaping. Heritier, 16 years old, has been without dreams for a while: only nightmares. After being part of the same militia for five years, he ran away from that life of combat, death and abuse and is now trying to free himself from the evil spirits that haunt him.

11/27/2022. Shores of Freser. Cine Transhumant, a project within the Terra Gollut film festival that aims to bring cinema to all territories, has promoted, together with the Association of Small Towns of Catalonia, a film circuit with values in the Girona demarcation. The first stop was this Friday in Viladamat, on the occasion of the 25th International Day against Violence against Women, where the documentary 'Volar' was screened, in which several women who have suffered sexist violence show how they have overcome the situation and now fight for eradicating it.
This cycle will be carried out in a dozen municipalities with less than 1,000 inhabitants and works far from the commercial circuit will be projected, but which have an implicit message. The cycle, which has the support of the Girona Provincial Council, the Departments of Education and Equality and Feminisms and the sub-delegation of the State government, will close on December 30 and will pass through municipalities such as Castellfollit de la Roca, San Miguel de Campmajor , Palace of Santa Eulalia, Osor, Agullana, la Vajol, Mieres and Madremanya.
The objective of this Transhumant Film cycle is to raise awareness among the population about women's rights and gender and sexual equality. In each session there will be a brief introduction to the film and the historical and social context, then the film will be shown and finally there will be a debate to reflect on various topics. The organization of Cine Transhumant will provide the digital projection equipment and the screen if the municipalities do not have their own equipment and tickets for all sessions will be free.
