Isaki Lacuesta (Gerona, 1975) is one of the most original and important Catalan filmmakers working today. Although a documentarian by training, his films include touches straight out of fiction and an original and fascinating fusion of genres and languages. A complete retrospective of his work, “Swimming in a Sea of Images: The Cinema of Isaki Lacuesta” was organized in collaboration by the Ramon Llull Institute, Catalan Films, and the University Pompeu in 2011. The event included Lacuesta’s documentaries, narratives, and short films. Among other projects, Lacuesta is currently developing a television comedy series.

Lacuesta’s feature The Double Steps (2011) was awarded the Golden Shell at San Sebastian Film Festival. His documentary El Cuaderno de Barro (2011) received a Golden Medal at the International Festival of Audiovisual Programs (FIPA) in Biarritz. His film La Leyenda del Tiempo (2006) was recognized as the Best Spanish Film of the Year by the Catalan Critics Association.
