Director
A rendezvous between Hill Street Blues and homemade video; from war bunkers to car tuning and scrapyards. An unsettling dance of apocalypse and isolation.
Director
A punk documentary which is, at the same time, a history of Catalonia, an analysis of its political situation in 2017, a comic lamentation on the milestones of the Procés —the broken, unsuccessful path started October 1st which eventually should've ended with a true declaration of independence from Spain—, and a chaotic festival of references to pop culture, from Dumbo to Salvador Dalí.

'Wandering Star' starts with a text about the punk band Los Fiambres, which made just one cult record in 1984: El lado oscuro del R & R (The Dark Side of Rock & Roll). Gracia follows Los Fiambres vocalist Rober Perdut more than thirty years later. He meets a photographer for a photo session in a bus station, is looking for drugs and loses someone named Roni (Rober’s surname does not coincidentally mean ‘disappeared, lost’). Rober sniffs coke from a Johnny Cash CD and is sailed to an island. In other scenes, we follow the photographer, who sometimes disappears mysteriously.

Si hay un género que dominamos en este país, ese es el esperpento. En esta “histeria” de España, Kikol Grau invoca a un flamante equipo de guerrilleros audiovisuales para sostener un frenético e incisivo espejo deformante: desde Manuel Bartual a Andrés Duque, pasando por Rubén Minchinela, Borja Crespo, David Domingo, María Cañas o Alberto Gracia, entre otros. Radiografía de la historia reciente y Black Mirror cañí, cadáver exquisito que concentra la sangre, el sudor y la caspa de la piel de toro, y por el que desfilan desde el Fary a Rita Barberá, se habla de temas candentes como el independentismo, y hay fútbol, tortilla y safaris, entre mil cosas nuestras más.
The story of Kaspar Hauser, who grew up in dark isolation from humanity, it is provided by a Gallician artist with a radical experimental adaptation that aims to be nothing less than a religious message. Black & white 16mm, without the language of reason, eye to eye with the primaeval puzzle. The story of Kaspar Hauser, the German 'wild child' who grew up for 16 years in silence and virtually in the dark in a stable with only a wooden horse as company, remains fascinating, also for filmmakers.
