Panòptic PRO is a meeting place for professionals, programmers, curators and cultural managers with Catalan audiovisual and digital creators and artists. An initiative aimed at articulating the professional and educational sector of film and art with a critical and transformative perspective.
Since 2023, several informal meetings have been held between professionals from the digital, audiovisual and cultural sector of the Maresme, from where the need to contribute to the gestation of an official meeting space in this territory arises. In close collaboration with other entities, we want to start building this space to strengthen the cultural, associative and professional fabric of the local digital and audiovisual culture.
This activity is the result of the collaboration between the audiovisual production cooperative CLACK and the Panòptic Festival. Specifically, we present a double session of conferences with professional agents of reference in the national audiovisual sector. The aim of this activity is to create a space for artistic contamination and exchange of knowledge to promote the professionalisation of our talent as well as its visibility and mobility.

About the participants
Judith Méndez Moreno is an art historian from the University of Barcelona and holds a Master’s degree in Advanced Studies in Art History with a specialisation in ‘Art and Society’. She coordinates the Temporals programme of the Institute of Culture of Barcelona from Grisart Lab, and teaches on the Master’s Degree in Digital Art Curatorship ESDI (Ramon Llull University). For the last 4 years she has been leading the Ni Mona Ni Lisa dissemination project with the intention of bringing art closer to the Internet sphere in a dynamic, rigorous way and in Catalan.
Pantube is an independent collective of support, dissemination and mutual help between creators of online content. With a horizontal anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, feminist-transinclusive and decolonial character, it was born to combat media hegemony, the growing presence of hate speech on networks and to generate a space for devising joint strategies.
The +RAIN Film Festival is the first international film festival generated with artificial intelligence in Europe, promoted by Pompeu Fabra University and co-organised with Sónar. It was created with the aim of projecting internationally the research and debate on the narrative potential of AI creation, as well as its use as a tool to create new languages in the field of media and film production.
La Lola Metratges is a self-organised film festival at the La Lola bar and cultural space in Mataró. A three-day cycle where short films are screened and interviews and talks are held with different people related to the world of cinema. This year it has already celebrated its fourth edition.
La Guixeta is an ethical platform for audiovisuals in Catalan. Born in mid-2022 through intercooperation, it aims to expand Catalan audiovisual sovereignty through the pooling of resources and mutual support.The initiative, which arose within the framework of the Singulars project, is promoted by the cooperatives BitLab, Quepo, Clack and Quesoni, together with the Platoniq Foundation, from Som Audiovisual.
