Official web site: www.carlosatanes.com

Carlos Atanes was born in 1971 at Barcelona. He has written and directed a lot of works since 1987, using different genres and techniques (Hi-8 video, 35mm., etc). In 1991, he shoots El Meravellós Món de l’Ocell Cúcù, which has been followed by another experimental works as El Tenor Mental (1993) and Borneo (1997). Some fiction productions like La Metamorfosis de Franz Kafka (1993), Morfing (1995), Metaminds & Metabodies (1995-1999) o Welcome to Spain (1999) show us a particular vision about cinema and, also, about reality (with a stile that provokes adhesions but aversions too).

FAQ is the first feature by Carlos Atanes, the most controversial and prolific short films director in Barcelona.
