Students Short Films
Our agreement with IES Abroad Barcelona allows us to host some interns during a period of time. These interns support all tasks of Aretusa Films, and they often have the opportunity to create a personal project while working with us. This was the case for the extremely talented Hannah, Jada, Rachel and Penn.
Queer Abroad
Director: Hannah Fulk
In an effort to explore her own queerness as well as compare queer culture in America and Spain, Hannah created this documentary that showcases LGBTQ+ night life, the 2022 Barcelona Pride Festival, and her personal journey abroad. This film uncovers Barcelona queer history and illustrates queer beauty internationally. The director’s goal was to tell the stories of queer people living in this city, not as they are assumed to be, but as they truly are.
