JF and JF in conversation
Synopsis of the text by César Ibáñez
Was he hoping to find an area of desert to stand in for Monument Valley? Or a Cistercian abbey? Or did he just want to be alone? Who knows, but what we do know is that by the time a red sun, seeming to melt over the horizon, was filling the whole western half of the sky, Ford found himself sat on a hillside rock, not far from a village in the province of Huesca by the name of Sena, smoking, drinking and chatting with a goatherd.
The conversation started in Spanish:
- Buenas tardes. Si se ha perdido yo puedo orientarle.
Ford replied:
- I’m sorry, I don’t understand.
The rest of the exchange took place in English:
- No problem, I understood you perfectly. In fact I happened to be born in Milwaukee, almost fifty years ago.

Ascaso is a pretty small village located in Sobrarbe (province of Huesca), that hosts since 2012 what its inhabitants call The World's Smallest Film Festival. During the past days this quiet corner has become a lively outdoor venue. Its five permanent residents with the help of a troop of volunteers have been working hard to make everything ready for this independent film festival's 4th edition that starts on tuesday (25 august) at eight o'clock in the evening.

A thieve's paradise
Synopsis of the text by Oscar Sipán
According to the FBI, the global art market is worth around ten billion dollars a year, and ranks third, behind only drug and arms trafficking, in the volume of illegal trading.
Interpol divide the perpetrators of these thefts into three categories: compulsive collectors, second-hand art dealers and networks of professional criminals. In that final category we find René Alphonse Van den Berghe, better known as Erik The Belgian.
Erik the Belgian (born in Nuiville, Belgium, in 1940) is one of the most famous art thieves in Europe. Very well-known in Aragón for the pillaging to which he subjected the cathedral of Rosa de Isábena in 1979, this real-life twentieth-century pirate carried out his criminal campaign against Spanish heritage between 1977 and 1982, committing more than sixty robberies and helping himself to more than six thousand objects. The Belgian was in the habit of leaving a bottle of champagne and two empty glasses at the scene of the crime: «to drink a toast to love and beauty.»
