“My experience in Els Juliols was great and I will repeat every year if I can”
“This is the first time I take up a course in Els Juliols, but now that I have tried it, I will repeat every year if I can”, says Lluïsa Vinyals, who was in the course L'evolució de la imatge cinematogràfica: del fotograma al cinema en 360 graus, and is very satisfied with it. “I chose this course because I love cinema and knew it would be fun, but it was better than I thought. Lecturers were excellent; we had fun and the lessons were fun too, interactive, dynamic. It was not boring at all, quite the contrary”.
Courses for everyone
One of the outstanding courses for next week is Sapiens, la metodologia dʼEl Bulli Foundation, with the participation of the Chef and Director of El Bulli Foundation, Ferran Adrià.
