Short film ‘Ninety-two’ leaps from the festivals to Catalan national television

On Saturday January 22, "Ninety-two" debuts on the small screen. After nearly two years of travelling to local and international festivals, the short film directed by Martin Guido and produced by Mago Production will be broadcast in the Sala 33 show on Televisió de Catalunya (TVC) and presented by award-winning film journalist Alex Gorina.

About the short film:

Ninety-Two doesn't tell a story. It's about the turning point of a story - the determinant. It's the timelessness of an endpoint, the urgent need to end-up with something. it is something that doesn't matter because the past never says more than the present suggests itself. Ninety-Two sheds light (and shadow) over stormy ties and damming sins.
