Fèlix Colomer, Alumni and director of the Master’s in Documentary, presents his new series
The alumni and director of the Master’s in Documentary, Fèlix Colomer, premieres his new documentary series ‘Les vides del Fèlix’ at the tenth edition of the Serializados Fest, the largest international series festival, taking place in Barcelona between October 17 and 29, 2023.
The premiere of the series took place at the CCCB in the Catalan capital and was attended by the director and several team members.
Les vides del Fèlix
‘Les vides del Fèlix’ reconstructs, throughout its seven episodes, the different stages of his life and the lessons derived from them. At the age of 29, Fèlix has been a documentary filmmaker, a director of porn films, a trap singer, an activist, a radical vegan, a chess player, and, above all, the narrator of his own life.
This documentary series is a narrative that functions almost like a letter to his son, in which Fèlix, in first person, narrates and showcases his various obsessions, professions, and hobbies.
‘Les vides de Fèlix’ is a production by Minoria Absoluta for HBO Max and will be premiering on the platform soon.
