An Approximation to Catalan Cinema from the Study of its Creative Process

The film approximation put forward in this paper is tackled from the perspective of the Psychology of Creativity, starting from the grounds that studying the creative practice in a field makes it possible to devise new ways for understanding it. In particular, in the film sector in Catalonia (which appears to be immersed in a structural crisis) the basic hypothesis of the research work was the idea that film practice is limited just as much or more by the creators' restricted approaches and concepts as it is by purely economic and industrial issues within the sector.
