Artist filmmaker examines creativity, authority, and power through cinema

BARCELONA, Spain - Sept. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Sci-Fi Series Explores Progress, Control, and Belief Through Satirical Lens

Independent filmmaker–composer Robert Iolini has launched ART e FACT, the first film in a self-financed sci-fi series exploring artificial intelligence, creativity, and defiance in a repressive world.

"Our characters grapple with real-world problems of creativity, authority, and power in often unorthodox ways," says Iolini.

Blending philosophy, humour, and stylised drama, ART e FACT offers an alternative to mainstream science fiction. Cast and shot entirely in Barcelona and produced entirely outside industry networks, the film is distributed directly to audiences via artefacts.iolini.com.

The next instalment, Café Fallible, continues this DIY approach in Barcelona. Filming begins in January 2026 at the iconic Club Ocaña in the Barrio Gótico, starring local cabaret artists Sara Brown and Santa Catalina (Catalina Parra) in a bilingual Catalan/English production. The film is supported by in-kind contributions from Barcelona's arts community, including venue partnership with Club Ocaña and collaboration with local performers who bring specialised cabaret expertise.

Set in a post-utopian society, Café Fallible follows anti-authoritarian performers pursued by cults, spies, and a mysterious machine. The film blends satire, theatre, and speculative ideas to explore art as a vehicle for knowledge, the tension between progress and control, and the courage to question everything—including your own beliefs.

Screeners, EPK, stills, and interviews are available on request.
