Josep T. París is a documentary film director, screenwriter and journalist, with a career focused on migration movements and racism. In 2025, he premiered his first feature-length documentary, Sunu Gaal. Our Cayuco, in the Official Section of the Málaga Film Festival. In 2024, he received the Montserrat Roig Award for Investigative Journalism for a project on the Barcelona Immigration Detention Centre.
In 2020, he co-directed Mama Congo. Dones al Cor de l’Àfrica for the TV3 programme 30 Minuts, a documentary about the feminist struggle in the Congo, a country devastated by violence against women. This work sought to raise awareness and change the Western perception, which often reduces Congolese women to mere statistics of victims.
In 2018, his documentary Menors Lluny de Casa, made for the same TV3 programme, addressed for the first time in-depth the arrival of immigrant minors without family references in Catalonia. Until then, they had only appeared in the media in association with crime, but the documentary revealed their reality and denounced the institutional racism they suffered.
Trained as a scriptwriter and playwright at the Scriptwriters’ Workshop, the School of Writing at the Ateneu Barcelonès, and the Obrador at Sala Beckett, Josep T. París has won several awards for his texts and scripts. In 2023, he was a finalist for the Frederic Roda Theatre Award with La familia de Silicona (The Silicone Family), and in 2019, he won the Ciutat de Manacor Award with Pirómanos (Pyromaniacs), published in December of that same year. He holds degrees in Journalism and Law and has worked in various media outlets.
