“A magnificent document on how time has become merchandise, pure and simple, kept in a bag of money.”

“A wake-up call to how the voracity of capitalism has altered our perception of time, and businesses are profiting from this, stealing our time without us noticing.”
After the busy week at DocsBarcelona, Cosima Dannoritzer’s documentary Time Thieves has been receiving some great press with reviews and interviews in national, international and industry press alike.  Jordi Ojeda’s opinion piece in El Cinefil reviews Time Thieves from an engineering and technological point of view, firmly placing the film in a social and historical context. Highly recommended reading for those of you who wish to investigate the subject further.

At DocsBarcelona the film was a big hit with audiences, and after just one screening was voted 7th best film out of 38 screenings at the festival.

Next screening: Sunday 17th June 16h – Festival Sant Cugat Fantàstic

And here’s a pick of the best interviews with the director Cosima Dannoritzer:

· Meritxell Rigol in La Marea

· Héctor Llanos Martinez in El País

· José Luis García in Cinestel

· Paulina Sepúlveda Garrido in La Tercera
