She is the current director of Xcèntric, the cinema at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, and Animac Lleida, the International Animated Film Festival of Catalonia.

She curated Metamorphosis, fantastic visions of Starewitch, Švankmajer and the Brothers Quay, an exhibition co-produced by the CCCB (Barcelona 2014) and La Casa Encendida (Madrid 2014-2015) about the oeuvre of these four animators and their references in art and literature, with over 500 original works and 35 screens. She also devised and programmed From Doodles to Pixels: over 100 years of Spanish animation, a project that documents and recoups historic and independent films of all time. The resulting film programme was first shown at the International Animated Film Festival in Annecy and will be travelling to museums and film theatres around the world until 2018.

She has been a regular programmer for the Sitges Festival, ArtFutura and Little Histories of Cinema (MACBA), and film cycles for festivals, museums and arts centres. She has made her own audiovisuals and commissioned works in the USA (where she worked for MTV), England, Italy (RAI), Iceland and Spain (Canal Plus, TVE, and Tesauro films).
