Amelie: A Modern Fairy Godmother and the Power of Narrative

If this story had been told differently, it wouldn't have mattered to anyone. The best thing about this film is the narrative. It has such an attractive and comical principle that it catches anyone. Showing the characters with insignificant details brings them closer to the ordinary mortal, so full of obsessions or supposed oddities. They and not the protagonist of the story are, in my opinion, the success of this film. Amelie is a normal character who becomes the centerpiece of a story because of her kindness. Here she appears as a modern fairy godmother, even if she replaces the magic wand with toothpaste, slippers or intentional phrases. That's why the first part of the film, where the different human stories appear, is the one I liked the most, decaying when Amelie begins to be the protagonist of her own story. It gradually lost my interest there, going up a little bit about ten minutes before I finished. The film's narrative is a demonstration that stories can be told in a new and tasteful way.

Our Own View: A Feminist Audiovisual Production

Our own view is an audiovisual production that deals with the implications which defending human rights involve. This way, we went through the way which led us to become a company dedicated exclusively to the production of audiovisual media with feminist content. We want to contribute to social change from the defense of the common goods, through equal and creative audiovisual participation that makes gender perspective the main concern, supporting us in education and popular communication.

Developing Creative Content

We develop creative content through the analysis of cultural topics in relation to the media in which we are specialized. These are: advertising media and audiovisual short films. We are going through a permanent building process looking for spaces for reflection, study and analysis in order to produce emancipating contents that stimulate self-determination with an open and flexible scheme accompanied by the development of deep interaction and discussion about the different existing theories which may bring us closer to new possibilities of resistance and building freedom. We are defined by the connections, links, the union of theories and practices that contribute to the construction of a social network that we want to communicate through participation in our audiovisual media.
