A documentary series by Foxtale

Still Told

Every spell has a source.


Spain has been a crossroads for as long as people have lived in it. Its caves were painted tens of thousands of years ago, and more than sixty peoples have made it home since, each leaving its own ways of asking the world for protection, rain, love or a good harvest.

The chapters

Collection I Spain

The rules of the series

What every chapter has to respect.

I

Nothing is invented.

Every ritual, object and setting comes from a documented source.

II

No word goes unverified.

Every line in a local language is checked before it's used.

III

Magic is suggested, never confirmed.

The films show what people believed, never whether it worked.

Who makes it

A folklorist and a designer, in one person.

I'm Fernando Mostacero. I research the magical folklore of Europe and I've designed digital products for more than 25 years, so each film is built like a product: research first, structure second, images last.

  • Folklore research
  • Public talks and podcasts
  • Cultural venue, Barcelona
  • Folk horror novel
  • 25+ years in product design
Your tradition

Your stories deserve the same care.

Films, exhibitions and learning experiences built on research, for museums, cultural organisations, tourism boards, communities and studios. The community leads; I bring the research, the design and the production.
