Unfortunately, I didn’t have any time for sightseeing here. But in general, Barcelona is a city with its own architectural identity. Moreover, the weather is moderate almost all of the year, and the clouds are a bit shy so it doesn’t rain a lot. That being said, one can always enjoy unique long walks in here wherever and whenever
Which films would you like have to produce?
As an animator, I prefer movies with a lot of expressions and movement. Hence to me, it would be great if I can travel back in time and “co-produce” Buster Keaton’s silent masterpiece “The General” and Ray Harryhausen’s stop motion animations in “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad”.

Long story short: Beirut, spring of 1999. 50cm vertically and 3 meters horizontally. My pole vaulting is far ahead of its time.
