“I wanted to ask if it felt good.”

Ignacio Estrella, winner of the Lola Gaos Award for Best Documentary Feature, joked at the award ceremony in front of A Punto’s general director Paco Ora about the network’s decision to broadcast a bullfight during the mass demonstrations against the Dana administration on October 25, marking the first anniversary of the disaster that killed 229 people. Estrella receives award for documentary “Equipo Cronica”. “Art of the Trench” took to the stage of the Alicante Music Auditorium this Friday and referred to “The Bullfight of 1997”, which was broadcast on public television and starred the bullfighter Vicente Varela, the first vice president of the Valencian government, Carlos Massón, founded by PP and Vox. “I just wanted to tell the director of Valencia’s public television that I’m happy with bullfighting,” he said, biting Ora.

The producer also warned that “there is currently great anxiety in the audiovisual industry in Valencia”. “When you talk to people, everything seems so fine and everything is so good, but there is a great fear of speaking and complaining and telling the truth. We have to tell the truth in documentaries, projects, films, short films, everything, because if we don’t say it, who will?”

Meanwhile, Estrella also told the director of Valencia Public Television: “Last year we presented four projects, none of which were bought (projects subsidized by the Autonomous Government of Valenciana and also received other public aid). Next week we will send four more. We will see if we like it more.”
