17 century-old trees were cut down in a historic square in Palma. In cutting them down, not only did the green of a corner of the city disappear: a fragment of collective memory also fell. From this wound in the urban landscape comes What are one hundred years?, the short documentary film by Joan Rubí that premieres this Friday in Mallorca and asks what remains when machines go over what had been standing for a century and how the citizenry responds.

About fifty people have participated in the creation of The Last Day of May: The Other Heroes, a short film linked to the events of May 31, 1550, and premiered this week in Pollença as part of the events leading up to the Patrona festival. The production, directed by Martí Pallicer, recovers a lesser-known part of that historical episode and focuses on characters who, despite having existed, are not part of the most popular narrative of the festival.
