Don't miss the chance to meet film director Claudio Zulian at the UK Premiere of 'Born' on 28 August at the ICA. The film that takes its name from a very old neighbourhood in Barcelona where the last battle against the Bourbon troops was fought in 1714, with the result that Catalonia lost its sovereignty. Part of the Catalan Avant-Garde season. Organised by the ICA, the Institut Ramon Llull and Reel Solutions.

Based on real events, 'Born' follows the adventures of coppersmith Bonaventura, his sister Marianna and the rich merchant Vicenç. Director Claudio Zulian accurately reconstructs Barcelona in the 18th century, aided by director of photography Jimmy Gimferrer, who uses a style reminiscent of Vermeer to portray the era. The film has echoes of late Rossellini and early Greenaway and deserves to be enjoyed on the big screen.
