FLY

For the first time a camera is able to film in a Spanish military academy. Capturing life at the academy, military training and its strict rules. A camera is attached to the skin and the gestures of the cadets as they prepare themselves to fly. Taking an individual look at those who will become to be known as only numbers and indistinguishable faces,embarking on strategic missions. And in the middle of a truce: the moments that we boarded the plane and flew with them. As children they wanted to be pilots. They came with the desire to fly and join the military. What will they have to give up to fulfil their dream.   Director: Carla Subiriana, director and film and television scriptwriter, born in Barcelona, 1972. She graduated in Audio-visual communication from the Universidad Pompeu Fabra, she started to become interested in documentary film through the influence of Jean-Louis Comolli. She writes and makes programs for Televisión Española, Televisió de Catalunya and Barcelona Televisió. After working with other filmmakers, such as Joaquín Jordá, Subiriana took the plunge and made her debut in cinema, which was Swim (2008). A personal memoir born out of research into the shooting of her grandfather. Alongside her career as a director, which has now taken off with Fly, Subiriana lectures at the Universidad Ramón Llull and at the Pompeu Fabra as professor of Cinema and Television, in the Masters programs of Creation and Production and Documentary Cinema Making.   Nominated for the V Premios Gaudí, Best Documentary Picture.
