SPECIAL SCREENING: DE SALAMANCA A NINGUNA PARTE INSTITUTO CERVANTES | Thursday 22 January 2008 | 6.30 p.m. | | |
|
De Salamanca a ninguna parte tells the story of a generation - the so-called “New Spanish Cinema” - that emerged from the Conversations of Salamanca (1955) and which tried to show the social reality of our country. Despite everything, remarkable good films were made: Del rosa al amarillo, by Manuel Summers, 1963; La tía Tula, by Miguel Picazo, 1963; Nueve cartas a Berta, by Basilio Martín Patino, 1965 and La caza, by Carlos Saura, 1965. In those years Patino, Borau, Camus, Picazo, Summers and Saura did something of great importance: a different kind of cinema, more critical, more innovative and personal, values that we now unfortunately miss. The work and legacy of those behind the declarations are examined. FREE. De Salamanca a ninguna parte by Chema de la Peña. Spain, 2002, 84’. Presented by film curator Marta Sanchez and followed by Q & A with director Chema de la Peña. Reception to follow featuring wines from the Region of Castile and Leon. In collaboration with the Regional Government of Castile and Leon. |

SPECIAL SCREENING: NODO- Time and memory INSTITUTO CERVANTES | Tuesday 29 January, 2008 | 6.30 p.m. | | |
|
The NO-DO, an acronym of NOticiero DOcumental was a news documentary that was screened compulsorily in Spanish cinemas before the main film between 1942 and 1976. It normally started with “His Excellency the Chief of State, Generalísimo Franco…” The peculiar signature tune and the repeated images of General Franco opening dams remain engraved in the memory of various Spanish generations. Today, in spite of their propagandistic aims, they manage to convey almost all that they tried to hide, the unique way of thinking of the regime, the abusive presence of the Catholic Church and of the Army in Spanish society and the way they rewarded the audience with broadcasts of the rare sporting triumphs of the poor Spain of that time. FREE. DVD compilation made by Rafael R. Tranche and Vicente Sánchez-Biosca. Screening selection made by Marta Sánchez. Edited by Cátedra and Filmoteca Española. The screening will be introduced by filmmaker José Luis Borau and writer Juan Pedro Aparicio. |

SIGHT & SOUND PRESENTS...FRANCO’S CHILDREN BFI SOUTHBANK | Thursday 7 February, 2008 | 6.10 p.m. | | |
| The Franco era is a source of enduring fascination for directors working today such as Pedro Almodóvar and Guillermo del Toro. With new laws coming into force bringing past atrocities to light and sanctioning the removal of Francoist symbols from the public sphere, it is timely to investigate the cultural legacy of this repressive regime. Guest speakers including the directors Bigas Luna, Ventura Pons, Paul Julian Smith, and Maria Delgado will discuss how films deal with a painful past, and whether the cinema can make a material difference during and in the aftermath of repressive regimes. | ||

DISSENTING VOICES? SPANISH FILMS UNDER FRANCO BFI SOUTHBANK GALLERY | 7 January 2008 - 2 March 2008 | ON-GOING | | |
|
Did film flourish in the Spain of General Franco because or in spite of the political climate? Directors often worked in trying circumstances to make their films; some got their message across, some did not. Using a mixture of materials relating to films of the period, we try to provide some insight on the key titles, and the background against which they were made. The BFI National Archive and BFI National Library are home to thousands of posters, scripts, costumes and other related ephemera... |
