Synopsis:

***WARNING***Films contain original language audio with English, Spanish & French subtitles***
The Double Steps (2011)
Prepare to be taken over by this delightfully enigmatic storyline that traverses centuries, continents and cultures. The 'double steps' in question refer to advice left by French artist François Augiéras, who claimed the best way to escape one's enemies is to walk backwards over your own footprints. Using one of Augiéras' lost works as the catalyst for the story, filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta and painter Miquel Barceló weave together the structure and iconography of the road movie with African griot storytelling.

The Mud Notebook (2011)
El Cuaderno de Barro (the Mud Notebook) is a documentary Isaki Lacuesta conceived in collaboration with the painter Miquel Barceló. For over twenty years, the Spanish artist has been living in Africa for long periods. There he has learned to paint between termites and scorpions, before the heat dries the paint and the wind carries away the canvases. At the top of the cliff of Bandiagara, Barceló presents, together with choreographer Josef Nadj, the ´performance´ Paso Doble and reveals for the first time the secrets of his African workshop.

The Double Steps (2011)
The best way to escape from your pursuers without leaving any traces behind you is to walk backwards over your own footprints. This is what French artist and author François Augiéras believed as he painted every inch of the walls of a military bunker in the desert and let it sink into the sand so that no one would find it until the 21st Century. But who is Augiéras? A legionary, painter, writer, gunman, saint, thief, devil, or a mix of all this? One of the most interesting auteurs working in Spain today, Catalan filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta, and one of Spain's foremost living artists, Miquel Barceló, guide us through the Mali desert in search of a fresco painted by Augiéras in this gorgeous film that won the Golden Shell at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.

The Mud Notebook (2011)
For over twenty years the painter Miquel Barceló has spent long periods in Africa. There he learned to paint amidst termites and scorpions, before the heat dried the paint and the wind blew away his canvases. At the top of the Bandiagara cliff, Barceló and the choreographer Josef Nadj put on the performance 'Paso Doble' and for the first time he reveals the secrets of his African studio.
