Rental of equipment, spaces for filming, preproduction and production expenses
As it is said in collaborative consumption "access is better than ownership". In this case we need to rent technical equipment (cameras, spotlights, microphones, tripods, etc.) and some spaces for filming.
It is expected that the shooting will last about 2 weeks. We will also have other expenses such as the cost of travel and the food&beverage of the film crew.

General information
"Barcelona en Beta" is a transmedia documentary project that aims to explore the impact of digital technologies on the city and citizens.
We live in a moment of transition in which we are the primitives of an unknown civilization. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital platforms, the automation of work ... are changing our way of living as never before and at a speed of vertigo.
We want to design a city that is capable of prospering in a future that, while being inevitable, is not predictable, and should be inclusive. We want to imagine futures in which we would like to live to be able to build them.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
For the documentary will create a main piece of about 30 minutes for online dissemination in addition to a website that will include additional footage of personal stories of 3-4 minutes and extended versions of the interviews with local experts.
With the minimum objective within the documentary:
-
We will go to visit first hand those citizens who already live in the future and are among us. They are the pioneers of this new era: they use digital platforms to earn money, share their knowledge, open the administration to citizens, manufacture their own objects or create their own currency.
-
Then we will explore the accidents that are created from these new ways of living: unfair competition, labor precariousness, conflicts between neighbors, loss of rights as consumers, unclear tax payments, etc.
-
And we are going to look for inspiration in citizens that from Barcelona help us to think about a new Social Operative System (SOS), from the local thinking in global. We will interview Javier Creus, Pilar Conesa, Jordi Serra del Pino, Amir Taaki, Mara Balestrini , Salvador Rueda, Marina Garcés and much more !
In summary, we want to help think critically and constructively about the impacts of these new initiatives on the city and its inhabitants.
Once the minimum objective of the campaing is reached we will go for the optimal to be able to:
-
Add more content : more pioneer stories and more interviews with inspiring people in the city
-
Develop the documentary and the website in English
-
Produce a version of audio description for blind people
-
Ensure that we minimize our environmental impact with a consultancy on Zero Waste
-
And shot a making off of the project :)
Here you can see some of the rewards we have prepared for you!
Why this is important
The documentary "Barcelona en Beta" is aimed at all those who want to explore positive change and build it. The future is inevitable yet progress is optional. If the future is progress depends on everyone.
It's time to reflect and ask new questions:
-
How will we work in the future?
-
How will we prepare society for permanent change?
-
How can we improve democracy?
-
How can we have a more distributed power rather that only hold by a few?
-
Where should we start?
These are complex issues. No one has the answers, but we all have the responsibility to look for them. The bases on which we have built our society are crumbling in front of our eyes. We know that when one is lost, the best thing is to be together. For this reason we want to make this documentary with all of you.
This project also wants to be a call to the co-responsibility of all the citizens about the decision-making that will have a high impact on the design of society of the next decades.
And finally the intention is that the story of the experience of Barcelona can inspire other cities and territories, both close ones and much further away ones.
