Grup Natural

'Grup Natural' is a feature-length documentary directed by Nina Solà. Through an intimate and profound lens, the film offers a portrait of an alternative educational model in a school where students autonomously organize themselves into small groups, adapting to changing schedules and working on projects instead of traditional subjects. Additionally, they participate in mandatory activities such as dance, theater, choral singing, and cleaning and organizing tasks within the center. The bonds between students and teachers, many of whom are former students of the center, are surprisingly close, and the pedagogical method is adapted to the 21st century. The documentary raises questions about the extrapolability of this model and provides a view from the perspective of the adolescents who experience it day by day.

The film is characterized by its observational approach and its ability to capture everyday moments that reflect the essence of this educational model. Through careful cinematography and editing that respects the natural rhythm of the protagonists, 'Grup Natural' invites the viewer to reflect on the possibilities of transformation in the educational field and the importance of listening to the voices of those directly affected by teaching systems.
