DE SALAMANCA A NINGUNA PARTE

INSTITUTO CERVANTES (London)
Spain / Thursday 22 January 2008 / 6.30 p.m. / English

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: From Pink to Yellow (Del rosa al amarillo), by Manuel Summers, 1963; Aunt Tula (La tía Tula), by Miguel Picazo, 1963; Nine letters to Tula (Nueve cartas a Berta), by Basilio Martín Patino, 1965 and The Hunt (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.
