Cesc Gay (Barcelona, 1967) is a director and screenwriter known for his profound observation of the characters he portrays; an observation tinged with irony and humour in its reflection of human weaknesses. The constant feature of his work is precisely this rich simplicity he so skilfully depicts through his characters: teenagers as they discover themselves, 20 year-olds in a hurry, 30 year-olds with doubts or 40 year-olds in crisis...
A filmmaker who X-rays feelings from a contained, sincere and delicate point of view to demonstrate the questions that so intimately concern his generation, considered to be one of the sharpest chroniclers of the urban middle classes.
Cesc Gay studied Cinema in Barcelona and New York, where he joined forces with Daniel Gimelberg to co-direct his first feature film, Hotel Room (1998), presented in the Zabaltegi section of the San Sebastian Festival.
