Revived by Miami Dade College, the historic building reopens with a tribute honoring the legacy of Cuba’s exile community
Mediapro Exhibitions, the GRUP MEDIAPRO division specializing in the creation and development of exhibition and museographic projects, is making its debut in the United States with the production of “Libertad: The Freedom Tower Exhibition”, a permanent display now open to visitors at Miami’s Freedom Tower. This is one of the city’s most iconic buildings, currently managed by Miami Dade College, which recently reopened after an extensive restoration. The exhibition design was carried out by Local Projects.
“Libertad: The Freedom Tower Exhibition” is the building’s main exhibition. Spanning two floors, this permanent display seeks to honor historical memory through testimonies and personal stories that reveal the role of the Freedom Tower as a beacon of hope and resilience for generations of exiles and immigrants. Within it, “El Refugio in Context” takes visitors through multiple galleries showcasing the powerful stories of those who passed through the building and helped shape the identity of what Miami is today.
Inspired by Seville’s Giralda, the Freedom Tower originally housed the now-defunct Miami Daily News and became a symbol as the backdrop for key moments in local history. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 2008, during the second half of the 20th century it became a symbol of exile, serving between 1962 and 1974 as a processing center for approximately 400,000 refugees starting new lives in the United States, providing them with medical care, food, and educational and employment resources. After decades of abandonment, Miami Dade College undertook a comprehensive renovation of the building to transform it, on its centennial, into a space for learning, creativity, and community engagement.
Mediapro US and Unitecnic worked closely with Mediapro Exhibitions on this project.
The film arrives in Italian theatres under the title ‘Bus 47’
Fifteen months after its premiere in Spain, ‘El 47’, produced by THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO, has now been released in cinemas across Italy under the title ‘Bus 47’. Directed by Marcel Barrena, the film continues its international run. In Greece, it opened on July 3, and following a successful screening at the Spanish Film Festival in Australia, it was released in cinemas across Australia and New Zealand on July 10. During its opening weekend, it entered the Australian box office Top 20. The film has already premiered, or is set to premiere soon, in countries including the United States, Poland, and India.
In Spain, ‘El 47’ remained in theatres for over seven months, grossing more than €4 million and drawing over 630,000 viewers. It is the highest-grossing Catalan-language film of all time (not adjusted for inflation), and the most-watched in cinemas in more than four decades
Written by Marcel Barrena and Alberto Marini, and starring Eduard Fernández, Clara Segura, Carlos Cuevas, Salva Reina, and Zoe Bonafonte, ‘El 47’ has racked up over thirty awards. It was the big winner at the most recent Goya Awards, taking home five prizes: Best Film (ex aequo), Best Supporting Actress (Clara Segura), Best Supporting Actor (Salva Reina), Best Production Direction (Carlos Apolinario), and Best Special Effects. It also claimed eight Gaudí Awards (including Best Picture) and two Forqué Awards (also including Best Picture)
Frustrated by the Barcelona City Council’s claim that public transport couldn’t reach the Torre Baró neighborhood due to its narrow and unsafe streets, local resident and bus driver Manolo Vital set out to prove them wrong, by driving bus line 47 himself. ‘El 47’ tells the inspiring true story of one man, a bus, and the future of an entire neighborhood.

The digital platform launches its new season of audiovisual content under the artistic direction of Igor Studio
Liceu OPERA+, the digital platform developed by Overon (GRUP MEDIAPRO) and Telefónica for the Gran Teatre del Liceu, has entered a new era marked by a bold visual transformation led by Igor Cortadellas, one of the most acclaimed audiovisual creatives of his generation.
More than a simple content library, Liceu OPERA+ functions as a living digital season, fully in sync with the life of the theatre itself. Every premiere at the Liceu continues online through the platform, creating a rhythm in which the physical and digital worlds pulse together—and where remote viewers are part of the Teatre’s present.
This new phase introduces a cinematic vision rarely seen in the world of classical music and opera streaming. The production uses a 14-camera system that brings the language of film to the opera stage: a cablecam sweeping through the theatre, a frontal travelling rig, cameras integrated into the set and orchestra pit, and a focus on movement and proximity that enriches the storytelling. The result is an image of remarkable sensitivity, intimate, artistic, and refined, on par with the aesthetic of major contemporary cinema. And all of it is available to viewers anywhere in the world, via Liceu OPERA+.
These visual innovations build on the platform’s existing features and extend its capabilities. Each broadcast is hosted by renowned presenter Ramon Gener, who interviews artists during the performance and provides context and listening guides to enhance the viewer’s experience. Subtitles are available in four Languages: Catalan, Spanish, English, and the opera’s original Language, and a moderated live chat allows viewers to engage with one another in real time, creating an international community of opera lovers. Multicam viewing remains a key feature, letting users switch perspectives, from backstage angles to the conductor’s position. Viewers can also follow the score in sync with the performance, and access segmented acts in the final version to facilitate browsing and replay.
Liceu OPERA+ is available by subscription, both to Liceu season ticket holders and general audiences. In addition to the six operas from last season and ‘The Cunning Little Vixen’ from this one, subscribers will also enjoy five upcoming productions recorded by Igor Studio. The first of these, ‘L’elisir d’amore’, premieres on December 14.
