Good films (and articles) in Spanish about Creativity and Innovation

[Allison Weiss]

I've just started exploring this group, and I'm sure I'm going to find some great things. I am designing a Spanish conversation course around the theme of creativity and looking for films or clips of talks that discuss a. how creativity works or b. clear evidence or good examples of creativity and innovation in action. My working list is here and I would love to make it grow, if you have any ideas.

Allison,

You've already got quite a list going, but I'm wondering if you might not find quite a boon to your resources in looking through some of the short, engaging TED lectures, like this one on METAPHOR:
