La carpa aims to investigate the process of construction, use and disappearance of a removable theater installed at the end of the sixties in l’Hospitalet de Llobregat, the work of the Murcian architect Emilio Pérez Piñero. This research is based on the account of direct testimonies: neighbors, city council workers and relatives of the architect. Being temporary and ephemeral, many of Emilio Pérez Piñero’s works only survive in memory, like a ghost, but the case of La carpa is special because its current whereabouts are unknown.

Roser Corella (Barcelona,1978) is an independent documentary filmmaker currently based in Berlin. She studied Visual Arts at the University of Barcelona and completed an exchange year at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste – Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, with Wolfgang Tillmans as her photography project supervisor. Roser began her video career at the Catalan TV, but her interest in human stories behind global issues moved her to start self-producing and developing a personal vision within the documentary field. Her multiple award-winning documentaries “Machine Man” (2012), “Prisoners Of Kanun” (2014) and “Grab And Run” (2017), “Room Without a View” (2020), have been screened at numerous international film festivals such as Hot Docs, CPH:DOX, DokLeipzig, DocsMx, among many others. Her fascination for the documentary genre has led her to travel the world in search of stories that deserve to be told. Not only to witness but to challenge and raise critical questions about contemporary societies.
