Patria is a popular epic film with fantastic touches that tells the legend of Otger Cataló, an story that (as indicated by the name of the main character) talks about the origins of Catalonia themselves.

The film aims, from an epic view, take a look at the origins and the Catalan roots giving a new perspective. The film goes ahead and back between the fifteenth and eighth centuries explaining the first historical reference written about the legend of Otger Cataló, which it was transmitted orally to Pere Tomic, Benedictine monk, in 1438 at the Monastery of Sant Llorenç (Berguedà)

The shooting of the film directed by Joan Frank Charansonnet was successfully completed last April at the Castle Requesens Castle, after two intense months shooting in el Berguedà, Solsonès and Alt Empordà.

The budget of this independent and commercial production film, with great espectations, filmed with cameras 4K technology, has been 250,000€, financed by Dejavu Films in co-production with Capaneida Films.

To this day has not received any subsidy or official sponsoring, but has had the logistical support of many municipalities, Berguedà, Solsonès and Alt Empordà and many anonymous people who wanted to bring their one´s bit because our/your dream become a true reality.

It is for this reason that we began this crowdfunding campaign asking for the collaboration and support of citizenship and social base with the objective that Patria is an example of the new way to make a quality film that is rooted in our values, our origins and at the same time can be an exportable product abroad.
