Audiovisual installation for the exhibition "Cathars and troubadours" at the Museum of the History of Catalonia (2003)

The history of La Rara Avis Films begins in 2003 when Ignasi Cristià, playwright and set designer, was hired to design an exhibition about the history of Occitania. The most important space in the exhibition did not contain objects, only a list of dates related to the crusade against the Cathars. What started as a design commission turned into an audiovisual installation that led to the creation of the company.

Since then, we have specialized in using audiovisual language to explain stories in the field of culture. We differentiate ourselves by paying attention to the place where each production is projected, usually an exhibition space or a stage space, considering it a crucial element in the entire production process.

We adapt to the needs of each project and offer a personalized service that includes everything from the first idea to post-production. For this reason, we work with regular collaborators and create multidisciplinary teams that fit specific needs.

We consider each audiovisual production as a tailor-made suit. Our passion for culture and our experience in the world of theater allow us to approach each project with a unique perspective.
