Glance Up (Mirant amunt)

Joan Pahisa is 27 and has one great passion: basketball. That would be nothing out of the ordinary but for one detail: he is exactly one metre tall. Joan’s life has not been easy, but sport has helped him keep going. Last summer he took part in the World Dwarf Games in the United States, a competition similar to the Olympics held every four years exclusively for people of short stature. Joan was Spain’s only representative across all sports, as he could not find anyone to go with him. That is why he specialised in table tennis, an individual sport. Joan travelled 7,000 km to become world table tennis champion and, above all, to play basketball one more time. His journey shows us how the world looks from one metre tall.

Oriol Martínez

Oriol Martinez and Enric Ribes are graduates in Media Studies from Barcelona. They started their adventure in the field of short fiction in order to find their true passion: the world of documentary, a free form of expression and a way to experience new cultures. They are currently filming their second documentary, Qian’s Obsession , the story of a very special Chinese textile factory where “castells” (human towers) take place at the end of the workday.
