About me
Available internationally · 35mm & 70mm projectionist · WWII consultant · Writer & Screenwriter
Víctor Baldoví (Barcelona, 1977) was born with cinema in his blood. As a child, he never missed a premiere, turning movie theaters into a second home while dreaming of becoming a screenwriter or film director.
After graduating in 1995, he spent over 25 years working as a projectionist at Barcelona’s now-closed Cine Comedia. That experience shaped him as a storyteller, caring for every 35mm frame so each film reached the audience exactly as its director intended.
"Cine Comedia was my Cinema Paradiso. When it closed in 2024, I lost everything. But the need to keep telling stories gave me a reason to live again."
As an author, he has published both fiction and non-fiction, including Cuando ya no esté (2020), a drama set during the Spanish flu, and the science fiction saga AEVUM. A World War II historical consultant and contributor to specialized magazines, his blog World War II Freak won the 2GM Award for Best Informative Blog in 2009.
Today, amid the revival of analog cinema, he hopes to return to the projection booth while continuing to pursue his dream of writing for franchises such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and James Bond. Trained in screenwriting at ECIB and ESCAC, his work explores new storytelling formats and the lesser-known stories hidden within History.

Yorkshire, 1918. As the Great War ravages Europe, an epidemic known as the Spanish flu spreads across the planet. Emily Porter, a nurse and writer haunted by her experience on the French front, and her husband David, a veteran of the trenches, are forced to isolate themselves at home in order to fight the disease. During the quarantine, David struggles with his own demons while Emily clings to one final purpose: to tell the dark truth about what happened in a remote field hospital before the illness silences her forever.
In the days leading up to October 1, 2017, when the Catalan self-determination referendum was suspended by the Constitutional Court, thousands of polling stations transformed into spaces of community and culture. “Votifarrada!” brings together, for the first time, the activity programs of these so-called “open schools.” A unique historical document. A piece of recent history that must not be forgotten.

France, 1944. An exploration of lost towns, forgotten gestures, and everyday life before World War II changed everything forever. A powerful blend of history, memory, and emotion.

In early 1944, during World War II, the OSS drafted a secret manual to teach ordinary citizens how to sabotage the enemy: without weapons, without explosives, and without raising suspicion. Known as the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, it was hidden after the Allied victory… until now.
Year 2195. Earth is exhausted, violent, and deeply divided. After the largest terrorist attack in history, authorities recruit a time-travelling mercenary named James to hunt down those responsible. But James finds himself on Mars, caught in a war against a warlord holding his family captive.
