A journey through film to the Spanish Civil War based on unpublished recordings from the era and fragments of George Orwell’s work.

As part of the celebration of Orwell Day, the CCCB presents Hommage à la Catalogne (2025), the new documentary by Frédéric Goldbronn that combines the reading of fragments of Homage to Catalonia with exceptional archive images, many of them rarely seen, filmed by CNT members during the Spanish Civil War. The result is a cinematic experience in which Orwell’s words are intertwined with period images to tell a story with an intense visual and narrative power. The screening, in the original French, subtitled in Catalan, will be preceded by an introduction from the specialists Miquel Berga and Fernando Casal, who will offer context for the film and discuss the continuing timeliness of Orwell’s ideas.
