"A photograph doesn't just capture a moment;  it whispers a story. You are free to imagine your own. For me, photography is like a slow, abstract film, a rhythm that invites you to contemplate, to feel without haste, to let each glance construct its own story. This is how I experience it: like a single-frame film, and at the same time, like a sequence of emotions captured in images." Xavi Herrero literally grew up in a photography studio. A Catalan filmmaker and producer, he has lived in Ibiza since 2014, the year he decided to leave behind his professional career in Barcelona, ​​linked to TV3 and production companies such as El Terrat and Dorna, among many others. In 2016, he founded Ibizacinefest, the Ibiza International Independent Film Festival, which he continues to direct and whose 10th edition is already in preparation. At the same time, he has produced and directed four feature films related to the island. His film, Moonface: A Woman in War, won the Silver Biznaga and the Audience Award in the "Affirming Women's Rights" section at the 2019 Malaga Film Festival. With her fifth feature film, Salka, in No Man's Land, she begins a new creative phase focused on collaborative projects in Mauritania with the NGO Un Lápiz, un Dibujo, culminating in the documentary Kitab in 2021. In March 2023, she premieres Du vin dans les voiles at the Málaga Film Festival.
