In 1994, year during which time veteran Catalan director Antoni Ribas chose to live in a tent, in the Plaça Sant Jaume, directly in front of the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya, in protest for the sudden lack of funds he had been promised to finish the production phase of Terra de canons (1999), a feature he had been busy directing up to that point. (Said feature was neither premiered nor even finished until the year 1999.) Sergi Rubió, on two separate occasions, went to the Plaça Sant Jaume to film interviews with him, in Super 8 format, in an effort to give visibility to the director's protest and/or message. This investigative report was given the title Retrat d'un lluitador (1994), or 'Portrait of a Fighter'. As an anecdote and certainly as an added plus, renowned director Santiago Lapeira happened to be present, showing solidarity with his friend Antoni Ribas, in the Plaça Sant Jaume, on Rubió's second day of shooting.
