The Potential History of Francesc Tosquelles, Catalonia and Fear

With filmmaker Mireia Sallarès and AFAM exhibition co-curator Joana Masó in person

Dir. Mireia Sallarès. 2021, 135 mins. A multifaceted, experimental, and speculative portrait of Francesc Tosquelles, the politicized psychiatrist who worked with the precarious and unexpected, using film and the arts in his practice. By exploring how this major figure of institutional psychotherapy revolutionized our relationship to mental illness and how this accomplishment was disregarded in history, the film opens a critical space about Catalonia and the world’s failure to remember Tosquelles and his interventions.
