In the midst of the streaming era and omnipresent screens, a growing segment of youth is looking back. Vinyl records, cassettes, film cameras, or VHS tapes, formats that just a few years ago seemed doomed to disappear, are circulating again among young people as objects of cultural consumption and symbols of identity. Far from being a fleeting trend, the phenomenon reflects an increasingly complex relationship between the digital generation and the technology that dominates their daily lives.

While the rest of the morning magazines discussed the harsh disagreements within Vox, Espejo público echoed an apparently anecdotal event. Susanna Griso stopped her conversation with Albert Rivera, who is a political analyst for the program, to ask him if he had already seen Santiago Segura's film. The former leader of Citizens replied that he had it pending. The presenter explained that Santiago Abascal had indeed gone, and had been caught leaving the cinema. "Ok Diario surprises Abascal watching Torrente, president", said the headline on screen. But that exclusive from Eduardo Inda's digital media seemed anything but a surprise. It was clearly a staged event: it reeked of a pact between Vox and Inda. A reporter with Ok Diario's microphone at the entrance of the room reported: "In a few moments, Santiago Abascal will leave the cinema after watching Torrente, president and we didn't want to miss his reaction". Immediately, Abascal appeared accompanied by a large group of men cut from the same cloth: the beard, the haircut, the clothes and the body rigidity that characterize them. The henchmen surrounded the leader of Vox, suspiciously controlling the area, and Abascal quickly approached the reporter's microphone. The supposed humor of that situation is that Santiago Segura's film parodies Vox with Torrente at the helm.

Four years after its finale, Peaky Blinders, the fiction about a group of Birmingham gangsters, returns to the screens. Now, however, it does so not in series format but as a feature film. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man premieres on Friday on Netflix with much of the original cast, led by Cillian Murphy, an Oscar winner for Oppenheimer. The Irish actor once again takes on the role of Thomas Shelby, the charismatic mobster whom viewers accompanied as he managed illegal betting, arms trafficking, and horse racing, and fought against other mafias. The series ended with Shelby imposing exile on himself, and this is precisely the starting point of the film written by Steven Knight, creator of the original fiction.

How does the son of Mallorcan farmers manage to walk the runway at New York Fashion Week and be considered John Galliano's successor? Why does this protégé of the fashion press end up thrown to the wolves? We asked ourselves these same questions in this very newspaper exactly eleven years ago in the wake of Call it a balance in the unbalance (2011). An epic story with a dramatic ending in which Regine Lettner delves, through the experiences of designer Miguel Adrover, into an industry capable of destroying myths as quickly as it builds them. This documentary was part of the first edition of Moritz Feed Doc, Barcelona's international film and fashion festival, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year by, coincidentally, revisiting the fascinating and enigmatic figure of Adrover. On this occasion, it does so through The designer is dead (2025), a documentary by Gonzalo Hergueta focusing on the life and artistic trajectory of one of the most consistent and radical personalities in contemporary fashion. This Adrover is the same Adrover who, more than two decades ago, was already speaking about sustainability and multiculturalism, when these concepts were not yet widely understood. mainstreamThis is similar to how, a few months ago, he refused to dress Rosalía de Lux because the singer wasn't using her platform to denounce the Palestinian genocide. For Adrover, fashion should be understood not only as a cultural artifact but also as a political one.

The 98th Academy Awards have crowned One battle after another like the big winner of the nightThe film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson gradually gained prominence throughout the ceremony, becoming the dominant name of the awards, which were marked by its overall success. The gala also featured musical numbers and some moments of protest, despite being rather tame and lacking in activism.

Pere Garcia (Girona, 1946) knows the secret to enduring 42 years in a job as a payroll specialist, a job he absolutely hated and which he readily describes as odious. He handled payroll and employment contracts. His was a particularly unpleasant department because "I always had to side with the company owner," and if an employee ever came to me, "I also had to agree with them and navigate any conflicts." He acknowledges that his loyalty to the company, which began at age 16 after finishing secondary school, was also largely due to the fact that the company, the prestigious Cànovas consultancy in Girona, "was excellent, as were the owners, department heads, and colleagues." However, the determining factor in his long tenure was his great passion for his leisure time: musicals.

It made a lot of sense for the guest of honor at the Barcelona Restoration Guild's party to be actor Alberto San Juan, who has just been nominated for a Goya for his performance in La cena. And it was precisely this film – which humorously recreates a fictional dinner of Franco two weeks after winning the Civil War – that led the Madrid-born actor to use the podium of the mythical La Paloma venue in the Catalan capital to launch a forceful "no to war." San Juan received a standing ovation from the five hundred attendees at the meeting, including actors, politicians, and restaurateurs, with his call "against this new world order where those with the greatest capacity to impose violence now lead." He reviewed the bombings in Iran and the "genocide of Gaza," among other things, and delivered a harsh criticism of the European Union and its "renunciation of defending the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

The actress and comedian Sílvia Abril has become a target of the far-right after making statements in which she criticized the Catholic Church. During her appearance on the red carpet at the Goya Awards, held this Saturday in Barcelona, Abril was interviewed by the magazine Cinemanía, which asked her about her favorite film of this edition of the awards. The actress opted for Sorda, but also spoke aboutLos domingos, the drama about a teenager who wants to become a cloistered nun. "I feel sorry that young people need to believe in something and cling to the Christian faith. I'm sorry for the Church, but what a kiosk you have set up. It's over, get out," said Abril, who argued that she preferred Sorda because she found it more "necessary" than Alauda Ruiz de Azúa's film.

Literary adaptations are nothing new in film or television, but rarely have they been so ubiquitous, to the point of wondering where all the new or original ideas have gone.

Balandrau, wild wind It takes us back to the foot of the famous Ripollès mountain where, on December 30, 2000, a sudden and unprecedentedly violent meteorological phenomenon, a blizzard, left a tragic toll of 10 dead due to the cold, snow, and wind. Fernando Trullols' film recreates this episode, highlighting the power of nature and the strength of humanity: it focuses on the nightmare experienced by a group of five young people who had gone ski touring—played by Álvaro Cervantes, Bruna Cusí, Edu Lloveras, Pep Ambrós, and Anna Moliner. Between the Gaudí Award and a Goya Award nomination for DeafCervantes premieres a film in which he plays the sole survivor of that group, Josep Maria Vilà, a scientist who was 27 years old at the time and about to marry the woman who would die beside him on the mountain, along with three other friends.

This year, one of the research projects I served on as a panel for reached a fascinating conclusion, which I'll reveal at the end of this article. The project analyzed the range of leisure activities in Catalan aimed at young people. There was something for all tastes and ages. For the youngest children, there were musical and theatrical activities. These, of course, were chosen by their parents.

The door to the room at the Bowery Hotel in New York, where our interview will take place, is only a crack open, wedged shut by the glaring omen. While we wait our turn, a cacophony of laughter and the flashes of the camera escape through the tiny hole. Los Angeles Times who has kidnapped Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman for a photo shoot. When the door finally opens, the couple, still laughing, come to meet us, genuinely curious about our arrival and eager to learn all the details.

Actor, director, and producer Rob Reiner (78) and his wife, Michele Singer (68), were found dead Sunday afternoon—early Monday morning in Catalonia—in their Brentwood, California home. The cause of death was stab wounds. There were no signs of forced entry, and the case is being investigated as a homicide by the Brentwood Police Department. One of the couple's sons, Nick, was arrested hours later by police—Sunday afternoon, shortly after 9 p.m. in California—in connection with the double homicide, according to US media. The 32-year-old's bail was set at $4 million. Nick, who had struggled with drug addiction and had been in rehab several times, was one of Reiner's three children with Michele Singer, his second wife, whom he married in 1989. Another daughter, Romy, discovered her parents and called emergency services.

According to director Gerard Oms, who will be visiting several theaters in the Gaudí Cycle network to present 'Far Away' this December, the film has stirred consciences, and he has often encountered audience members who have confessed that they "still remain hidden and haven't dared to show themselves to the world in a completely free way." These witnesses confirm that although we live "in a world that has conquered many spaces free from hostility," it is still necessary "to continue creating spaces of love and safety to achieve visibility," the director observes.

A study commissioned by the Dones Visuals association and the University of Barcelona confirms the inequalities and violence suffered by the most vulnerable groups within the film industry. The report, presented this Thursday, is titled Study of violence and inequalities in Catalan audiovisual mediaThe study interviewed 52 people of color, gender non-conforming individuals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, or people with disabilities. Based on these conversations, the analysis concludes that the majority of these individuals "have suffered violence throughout their working lives in the Catalan audiovisual sector," while "remedial or protective measures implemented by the industry itself are practically nonexistent." "The study stems from an initial approach by Mujeres Visuales (Visual Women) using their own data. They observed that many groups are underrepresented in the industry, and we wanted to understand the reasons for this absence," explains Maria José Masa, one of the UB researchers who participated in the study. The report identified three cases of physical assault in the workplace and states that "although infrequent, they are notable for their persistence." In contrast, it confirms the existence of verbal abuse, which "is the most frequent in the sector and is primarily motivated by racism and sexism," workplace harassment, and abuse of power. The study exposes situations of symbolic violence such as "unwelcoming work environments, condescending and paternalistic attitudes, and men's appropriation of women's proposals and ideas."
