This year Sense Ficció celebrates its 5th anniversary and to mark the occasion we have opened a vote for documentaries in which viewers select five of the 20 selected they’d like to watch again.
So if you want to enjoy the best documentaries, including our award-winning “Google and the World Brain”, you should join in.
Sense Ficció, directed and presented by Joan Salvat, who also directed “30 minuts” for 24 years, aims to broadcast the best documentaries from around the world, as well as his own documentaries that have forged TV3’s style. The program is a window onto the best documentary productions which provide food for thought about the biggest challenges that contemporary society faces. It’s the first time public television has created such a platform on its main channel.
Among the productions screened was the documentary “Google and the World Brain” produced by Polar Star Films and directed by Ben Lewis which was broadcast on June 18 and was watched by 339,000 viewers, 10,4% of the total.
The program has also broadcast documentaries which, because of their artistic value or the revelations they have contained, have been met with international controversy and admiration, such as “Bicicleta, cullera, poma”, which won the 2011 Goya award for best documentary and “Mon petit”, which in the same year win the Gaudí award for best documentary film.
One of the peculiarities of Sense Ficció is that it also screens interviews in which Joan Salvat discusses the documentary that is about to be screened with people involved in making it or with people who have special knowledge of the subject. When “Google and the World Brain” was broadcast he interviewed Carles Brugueras, the documentary’s executive producer.
