We kick off the 2024-2025 academic year with ‘Society of the Snow’ and some very special guests

On 10 September we inaugurated the 2024-2025 academic year at Cinema Catalunya in Terrassa with a screening of ‘Society of the Snow’ and some very special guests.

After the screening, students had the opportunity to talk with the film’s director, J. A. Bayona, an alumnus, and some members of the technical crew: Laura Pedro (VFX), Iris Amat (VFX) and Jaume Martí (Editing), all of them also alumni of the school.

Among the audience’s questions, a signed book about the film’s making-of and a signed ESCAC tote bag in a limited edition for the school’s 30th anniversary were raffled off for the most original question.

After the screening and Q&A, we headed to Plaça de la Farinera to celebrate the start of the academic year with frankfurters (including a veggie option), beer and live music.

Many thanks to J. A. Bayona, Jaume Martí, Laura Pedro and Iris Amat for sharing their time and experience with us, and good luck to everyone embarking on this adventure today!
