Enric Escofet Pacreu
Barcelona, 1989
I arrived here chasing a frequency on the shortwave radio, but my journey in documentary filmmaking began in 2012, when I worked as production manager on Plou i fa sol, a documentary directed by Pere Joan Ventura and broadcast on Televisió de Catalunya.
Driven by the desire to portray social conflicts through film, I soon co-produced, co-directed and edited the feature film The Seams of the Skin, which explores the labor struggles of women garment workers in southern India, and which was selected in several international documentary festivals with a human rights approach.
Since then, I have combined my work in fiction, advertising and music videos with the production of documentaries for television and OTT platforms. Recently, I produced the independent documentary A glass of water for Elio, which recovers the memory of Elio Ziglioli, Italian anti-fascist killed in 1949 by the Guardia Civil.
At Pacifica Station I produced and edited Things that Buzz in the Night, a mysterious feature film directed by Guillem Valle. I am currently working as co-director and editor on the documentary The Last Phase, which chronicles the disappearance of the Casas Baratas (Cheap Houses) in the Bon Pastor neighborhood of Barcelona.
