WHAT
CRISIS
CRISISWHAT An optimistic answer
It’s a documentary portraying the 2012’s Europe.
A trip from Galicia, in the Iberian Peninsula’s Northwest extreme, to the Pireo in Greece, across Portugal, Spain and Italy (PIGS)*. It’s a critical eye
to the CRISIS.
A practical and brave answer to that questions we should ask:
What is the crisis? Where does it come from?
Where does it lead us? And now what?

WHY
CRISIS
CRISISWHAT An optimistic answer
The crisis that was a deceleration and now seems an hecatomb had to last two years and it’ll make six. We don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, and if we
saw it we would think that it’s the train coming to finish us.
The degree of collective pessimism gripping us is more desperate and immobilizer than financial
imponderables. We have fear, and as british sociologist Frank Furedi said long before the crisis
arose, ubiquitous and persistent fear generates doom and resignation.
We need to visualize alternative answers, other possible futures, because if we don’t imagine them,
we will never be able to make them happen.

Graphical and audiovisual creator Xavier Belho leads the motorbike, Yamaha Virago 1100 year 97, and the

Accompanying him from Galicia, Irmáns Karapatrov and the collective NóComún.
And along the way he will be meeting the main cha-racters of this story: PIGS inhabitants that refuse to see
themselves reflected in the hopelessness mirror and face the crisis with courage and geat ideas.

HOW
CRISIS
CRISISWHAT An optimistic answer
The project is planned in two different stages:
The main characters will tell their stories, where they are developing their projects, directly to the camera (Canon
7D), through little videobooth style interviews. These microinterviews will be uploaded to the Web and Social networks, thus building an interactive map of the trip, so the audience will be able to interact almost on realtime.
At the end of the trip, a narrative documentary will be built complementing selected statements of the main
characters with contextual information and images.
The documentary will be presented to national and international Documentaries Festivals.

The project can’t be made without your help. With this campaign I hope to cover the basic costs
needed for such a project, which are: fuel, videographic materials, production of the final documentary and sha-
re with collaborators and general audience
If you tell your story, you’ll have your little corner in the web as “people”, with contact information (if you want) to spread your proposal
If you offer a place to spend the night and/or food aid (either in food or with 10 euros), you’ll be included in the credits as “hosts”
If you offer fuel or 20 euros, you’ll be included as “contributors”
