Award-winning French documentary distributor Java Films has grabbed world rights to Anna Giralt’s “Robin Bank,” a doc competition entry at this year’s Malaga festival. Produced by Jorge Cabal…
, “Robin Bank” tells the story of Catalan activist Enric Durán who, between 2005 and 2008, managed to take out €500,000 in loans from 39 different banks which he never reimbursed, instead using the money to fund social projects.
The film received warm a welcome from audiences at its recent world premiere at Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival. Java Films’ credits include Sara Creta’s “Libya: No Escape from Hell,” Marion Van Renterghem’s “Looking for Merkel.”Durán himself contacted Giralt several years ago to shoot a project he was working on. While the filmmaker didn’t accept that specific project, she took the opportunity to tell his story, “because it connected me to something that I thought I had lost – faith in our actions and the belief that we can promote change,” Giralt said.
