Col·lectiu 1080

Col·lectiu 1080 is an audiovisual research collective resident at the Santa Mònica that arose as a result of two laboratories that took place in 2022: Creation laboratory Archipiélago, Un archipiélago colectivo, coordinated by Mònica Rovira, and Historia(s) de la experimentación en el cine, Ensayos y reflexiones en torno al cine de vanguardia, coordinated by Andrés Duque. Since its creation in 2023, the group has been mutating and building with the participation of Adrià Guardiola, Lola Clavo, Marla Jacarilla, Mònica Rovira, Ramon Balcells and Renan Camilo.

Until 2024, Tuesdays of Video, Santa Mònica's audiovisual programme with free, regular screenings every Tuesday in the Sala Bar, functions as a kind of public screen in which the collective proposes a dialogue between films and critical thought. Beyond these sessions, it has also collaborated with projects such as the film experimentation workshop Vivim el barri at the Filmoteca de Catalunya and the programme Hall de L'Alternativa, Barcelona Independent Film Festival.

Col·lectiu 1080 is currently formed by Marla Jacarilla, Mònica Rovira and Renan Camilo and researches the audiovisual in a broad sense, especially in its relations with the contemporary context: production, reception, discourses, language and temporalities of the moving image. Within this conceptual framework, the collective reflection gravitates around the processes of creation and production (How to make films while enlivening a strong artistic gesture?) and programming (How is cinema shown?).

Marla Jacarilla (Alcoy, 1980) Visual artist, writer and film critic. She develops her work through techniques such as performance, video art and installations. She is constantly looking for links between plastic art, new technologies and literature to develop a fragmented narrative sprinkled with fiction that the spectator is invited to recompose. She has participated in group exhibitions at MACBA, Fundació Tàpies, Fabra i Coats Centre d'Art Contemporani, Centre d'Art La Panera, La Capella and Centre del Carme, among others. She is currently a member of the editorial team of Filmtopia, a website specialising in films made by women.

Mònica Rovira. Filmmaker and researcher. Graduate in Audiovisual Communication and Master's Degree in Creative Documentary by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Graduate in Film Directing from FAMU (Academy of Performing Arts) in Prague. Starting with Ver a una Mujer (2017), she investigates filmic language as a place from which to ask questions, the tension between desire and writing, the ways of narrating what happens to us, and the world through what happens to us, through what crosses us. With others, for others. A practice that focuses on the vulnerability and temporality of bodies, as well as the spectral relations that cross and overflow the images. He rehearses the writing of the self in film, constructing a voice in transit that questions identity. He is currently developing a new film, based on the project Them, the Water and Me, promoted by the centre La Virreina (2024).

Renan Camilo. Graduate in Philology and Literature (USP-Brazil), diploma in Audiovisual Ideation and Creation (UAB) and master's degree in Film Curating (Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola). He was production assistant and curator for the parallel activities of the Barcelona Independent Film Festival, l'Alternativa. He participated in the curatorial process of the exhibition Zin Ex. Cuerpo y Arquitectura at the Tabakalera Cultural Centre. At Santa Mònica she participated in the exhibition Utopia Rambles. In 2023 she received the Sala d'Art Jove curatorial grant. She is currently working on a doctoral thesis on applied research in the Department of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature at the UB.
