For our first part, listen up ONCE to whole conversation, taking NOTES on these 11 questions:

Q1- Are you used to giving a lot of interviews in English? and in Romanic languages?
Q2- What is your relationship with English, apart from practicing it, when you go to Cannes festival and in recent interviews with the international media? How did you learn it, where and how? How much do you practice it apart from the events?
Q3- What is her attitude towards dubbed films?
Q4- What about your professional background? You studied something completely different, so tell me, how did it go?
Q5-  How did you end up in becoming a producer?
Q6- If you had to choose from your five films, I’d say Incerta Glòria and Pa negre, they’re very famous and well-known…
Q7- At the present, you are promoting, travelling a lot with Incerta Glòria. What about this film, the origins? Tell me about the main challenges in producing it. You are a teacher on how to adapt literature to cinema. How did you decide to create it?
