20 Mar–17 Apr 2014 THE LIST 111
Name Mar Felices
Job title Artistic Director Company IberoDocs Ltd
When did you start your job? I started this job in early 2013 when I moved to Edinburgh with the idea of bringing documentary films from Spain and Latin America to Scotland. Shortly after, I met Xose-Ramón Rivas, a Spanish arts manager and event organiser, and co-director of the Spanish film collective CinemaAttic, while working at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. We decided to join forces by organising IberoDocs, the first showcase of Ibero-American culture in Scotland, focusing on documentary films by Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American filmmakers.
So what does your job actually involve? As an Artistic Director I am responsible for the communication of the artistic vision of the Festival, through a selection of films. For this first inaugural year, I focused the programme on topics such as integration, emigration, mental health and rural landscapes. I have to watch lots of films, carry out research for first- class material, attend festivals, do loads of spadework and finally craft everything around the themes of the project, with special attention to contact with filmmakers, fees and negotiation terms around the films, liaising with international sales agents, teams and distributors.
Best / worst aspects? I’ve always been a film festival lover. Best points . . . meeting filmmakers I’ve always admired and having the opportunity to watch their movies before they release them. The toughest aspects are things like daily communication in your core team, trying to merge ideas, keeping cheerful and focusing a whole team on shaping ideas into real facts, making sure there’s a clear feed between the many different groups of people involved in such a large project. What a struggle for just a four-day festival!
Looking back, what advice would you give to a young Mar at the start of her career? This is my first festival as an Artistic Director, so I’m learning with the flow, drawn by the river. The past year has brought daily lessons, and it’s been an express masterclass in how to shape a film festival. I would say to that young wee Mar what I’m now still always saying to myself: ‘Trust yourself and your ideas, fight for them. When one door closes, another one opens.’ Even in my toughest days those ideas help cheer me up. And finally . . . what are you most looking forward to in 2014? Witnessing the success of IberoDocs in its first year, and raising the awareness and accessibility of Ibero- American film and culture in Scotland by establishing a cultural event based in Edinburgh. This festival aims to build relations with local institutions and cultural organisations in order to promote artistic practice, creating a solid project that has the potential for long-term growth both in Scotland and internationally. But what I really wish for . . . is to finish this first festival and visit my father in Brazil! ■ IberoDocs, Weds 2–Sun 6 Apr, various venues, Edinburgh, iberodocs.co.uk
