Pau Pericas

Pau Pericas is an Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona's Faculty of Information and Audiovisual Media and teaches Design at BAU, University Center for Arts and Design. His primary institutional affiliation is with the University of Barcelona, where he maintains active directory information including office location and contact details.

His educational background includes:

Pericas's research centers on situated cinema—a critical, embodied, and localized filmmaking approach emerging from specific perspectives that critiques power relations while creating open negotiation spaces. He investigates audiovisual creation as both expressive medium and knowledge form, with particular emphasis on image ethics and filmmaker positionality within socio-political contexts.

As an active practitioner, he has directed notable works including "S'hivern" (Gadea Films), "Airport" (TVC), "Sé quién eres" (Telecinco), "L'altra cara" (TVC), and "Para después del capitalismo" (CCCB). His current doctoral thesis project involves developing the non-fiction feature film "La pel·lícula dels caputxins" (Gadea Films), bridging academic research with creative production.
