JULIA IST
Director: Elena Martin
The portrait of a generation who left.
Júlia is a third year architecture student that decides to do an Erasmus year in Berlin. This is how, without much consideration and driven by her inertia, Júlia leaves her home for the first time. Júlia finds herself lost in a cold and grey Berlin, far from that adventure that she initially imagined.
This is a film for those who left their country and started in a new city right from the scratch, facing small and big decisions far from home. The film has become the chronicle of a generation who left their country after the crisis.
Migration bound. Edinburgh has come to know only too well about the crisis in Spain as it generously embraced a whole generation of Spanish migrants. If Julia Ist is the chronicle of those who left, then Yo La Busco (also part of SCAT festival screenings) is the chronicle of the ones who stayed: befuddled by the total economic meltdown, unemployed, wandering in the city wondering and trying to create something meaningful. In that sense these two films are oppositions that complement each other perfectly, showing the two sides of the same Spanish coin.
Should I stay or should I go? And even worse, when is it a good time to return?
