📖 The Balandrau tragedy and the mountain blizzard

The session opens with an introductory talk by physicist and meteorologist Jordi Cruz, author of the book 3 nits de torb i 1 Cap d’Any (2018), which recounts the Catalan Pyrenees disaster and inspired the film, alongside director Fernando Trullols.

Before screening the film, a tactile model will be used to contextualize the severe blizzard phenomenon known as "torb", the historical events of the tragedy, and the creative challenges of bringing this story to the screen. The movie will then be screened featuring live expressive audio description by Aleix Castany, an audio describer who has low vision.

🎬 The initiative and commitment to accessibility

This event is part of the "Sentir el cinema" series, an initiative designed to explore new ways to experience cinema and ensure that cultural events remain accessible to everyone under equal conditions.

ℹ️ Good to know: The screening includes accessible subtitles in Catalan for deaf or hard of hearing attendees.
