Carla Simón

Barcelona, 1986. Director and screenwriter. She was born in Barcelona but grew up in Les Planes d'Hostoles, a small village in Catalonia. AIDS took away her parents when she was only 6 years of age and she had to live with her aunt and uncle in Ampurdán. This experience was the  inspiration for her first feature film, "Estiu 1993" entirely made in Catalan. It was premiered at Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas (Spain). It was selected to represent Spain at the Oscars. Carla Simón graduated from the UUniversitat Autònoma de Barcelona with a degree in visual communications in 2009. She obtained a masters degree in tv innovation and quality from the Televisión de Catalunya in 2010 and master of artes from the London Fils School. In London, she directed the documentary "Born Positive" and the short fiction film "Lipstick."

Notas

“A delicate film that movingly looks at an orphaned six-year-old’s loneliness and confusion without the usual dip into sentimentality (…) strikes a careful balance between narrative and atmosphere.”
– Jay Weissberg: Variety

“An authentic prodigy of expressive delicacy, crossed by such a luminous and cruel sensitivity, that disarms and catches, it shrinks you from within. An amazing movie.” – Beatriz Martínez: Fotogramas

“The result is brilliant, luminous: Laia Artigas resumes in his sight the exploration the filmmaker makes with her camara over her own emotional learning.” 
– Quim Casas: Diario El Periódico
