Xavier Artigas is a film director and founder of the production company Metromuster, which defined itself as producing emancipatory A/V cultures and deconstructing code in activism.

Artigas is known for his work as director for the documentary ‘Ciutat Morta’ (translating into ‘Dead City’ in English), which tells the tale of a Patricia Heras, a young poet who commited suicide in prison, and through her death, incarceration, bigotry, corruption and institutional violence in Barcelona.
