After the world premiere of “Parrot at the Milkbar” in Documenta Madrid 2014 and its participation in DocsBarcelona this same year, the documentary takes flight again to participate in another festival, Alcances,

which takes place in Cadiz from 6th to 13th September.

We would like to take the opportunity of this great news to share Documenta Madrid’s interview with Ines Thomsen, the director of this documentary film, in which she explains her motivation to make the film and why she decided to film from the point of view that she did.

“Parrot at the Milkbar” tells the story of four hairdressers and their customers in the Raval quarter in Barcelona’s Old Town. Four small, strange time and space capsules, of people who left their home to find a better one, while the Spaniards are about to leave their own country themselves. The documentary is Ines Thomsen’s second documentary to be produced by Polar Star Films. It is an international coproduction with Filmtank, Germany.
