Jordi Hernàndez Prat
Cultural Diplomat · Filmmaker · Educator
UNESCO Creative City of Film Focal Point for Terrassa. Director of Audiovisual Projects. University Lecturer. I believe that creativity and generosity is the strongest passport
A life lived at the crossroads
I come from telecommunications, fell in love with cinema, and ended up as a cultural diplomat. Life is not a straight line — it is a tracking shot.
Born and raised in Terrassa, Catalonia, I have spent more than two decades exploring the space where audiovisual culture, emerging technology and public policy meet. From transforming an abandoned hospital into one of Spain’s benchmark studio complexes to representing Terrassa as UNESCO Creative City of Film on the global stage — my work is about building bridges.
Engineer by training, filmmaker by vocation, educator by conviction. I teach at the University of Barcelona, design virtual production programmes at UPC Barcelona Tech, and run audiovisual literacy workshops for homeless residents at the Red Cross shelter. Because culture belongs to everyone.
