Armamento musical
José Riveiro
Over the years we have seen the war analysed from many points of view, but we have rarely stopped to think about the weaponry capacity of music.
At the same time that we analyse the conflict through music, we try to give colour to each of the stages of a fratricidal conflict that still has too many open wounds.V.O. españolSección: Esbilla Equí y n'otru tiempu | Dirección: José Riveiro | País: Asturies | Año: 2024 -
As the Tide Comes In
Juan Palacios, Sofie Husum Johannesen (co-director)
The 27 residents on the tiny Danish Wadden Sea island of Mandø, are used to severe weather and flooding. Climate change has only made things worse and now it poses a serious existential threat to the eight-square-kilometer island. However, its last farmer, Gregers, hasn’t given up in the face of the impending catastrophe. He refuses to build a life elsewhere and instead hopes to find a wife to manage the farm with him. The portrait of this microcosm is accompanied by masterfully crafted shots of the distinctive landscape, shifting skies, and seas that change with the wind. In a sense, the grim fate of these islanders, presented in drily humorous situations, will affect us all.

Bella durmiente
Ado Arrieta
The most recent feature film directed by Ado Arrieta is a beautiful adaptation of the fairy tale popularised by Charles Perrault: a fantasy kingdom, a young princess, the curse of a scorned fairy, a spinning wheel, a spindle and a hundred years of deep sleep for the young girl and for all the people who live in her kingdom. A century later, a young prince from a neighbouring country will disobey his father’s command and cross the jungle to find out if on the other side there is an inhabited city or only ruins.
La belle dormant is a film made with affection and respect for the original story; there is no room for cynicism or deconstruction in the delicacy of its beautiful pictorial images.Viernes 20 de noviembre

Eight Postcards from Utopia
Christian Ferencz-Flatz, Radu Jude
Eight Postcards from Utopia is a found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements. Drawing from the debris of Romania’s long transition period, the film speaks about love and death, the human body and its frailty, the natural and the supernatural and of course, socialism and capitalism.
Bouncing between found poetry and an outdated encyclopedia, between trash art and Summa Theologiae, Radu Jude teams up with philosopher Christian Ferencz-Flatz to make another hilarious and unforgiving take down of meta capitalist mythology.

El ataque de los muertos sin ojos
Armando de Osorio
One of the summits of the bizarre, uncomplicated and psychotronic horror that shone in the mid 70s in Spain, combining the influences of Hammer, giallo, sexploitation and the new wave of American indie horror (with George A. Romero as a reference), with the addition of more genuine traditional elements, like those blind medieval Templar zombies thirsty for blood and revenge or the late-Francoist society itself as a backdrop. With Tony Kendall, Fernando Sancho, Esperanza Roy, Frank Braña and our guest of honour, the great Lone Fleming.

El ex-preso de Corea (Rolling Thunder)
John Flynn
For years this film was an invisible milestone, a cult film that could only be heard about, because there were no copies in video stores, nor was it shown in film libraries. John Flynn was a reviled director who put himself at the service of Sylvester Stallone and Steven Seagal in the nineties, since the industry had forgotten and denigrated his priceless work in brutal films like The Outfit (1973) or Rolling Thunder itself, a revenge film written by Paul Schrader that now, thanks to Quentin Tarantino, finally holds the privileged place in the history of cinema that it deserves.

Inspired by Jean Cocteau’s Orpheus (1950), whose influence was already visible in Le crime de la toupie (1966), and Jean Genet’s Un chant d’amour (1950), the film also reflects the claustrophobia and sad mood of Franco’s Spain.

Las intrigas de Sylvia Couski
Ado Arrieta
Les intrigues de Sylvia Couski is the most urban and open of the three films selected for our focus of Ado Arrieta, a party populated by memorable characters who come and go, transform themselves (into a gypsy, a fairy, a sculpture) and nonchalantly float over a plot of jealousy and revenge between a sculptor and his ex-wife. Starring Arrieta himself and an overwhelming Marie-France, Les intrigues can be seen as a portrait of post-68 Paris from a point of view that at times seems documentary-like without ever losing that magical unreality that enraptures the gaze and is so typical of Arrieta’s films.

Luna
Pablo Casanueva
«I have searched for the memory of my relatives in the places where they were after being repressed by Francoism. I found myself at the borders, in the camps and in the prisons with their history [and mine] suspended between the cracks, like old paintings that emerge after burning a church. Inside the archive, the familiar and the public, the images are revisited and the documents are read. All this has built an intergenerational bridge that links me to my grandmother and her mother».

The film investigates the potential of the cinematogram to put on screen the (re)construction of a collection of propaganda films of the Asturian Republican government in 1937, which, although they never existed -or did not reach our days-, could have been shot, as different evidences and news of the time show. The film proposes the archaeology of a possibility, at the same time as, on the screen, this possibility, this potential, is transformed, now yes, into cinema.

Tres hombres no pueden ocultarse bajo la tapa de un puchero
Sergio Montero y Asur Fuente
Honorina is not an actress, but she must play a theatrical performance on which her life depends. If she makes a mistake in the improvised script, she could cause the disappearance of her entire family. Honorina lives alone with her mother in an isolated farmhouse in an Asturian village; at least, apparently. In reality, since the war ended, she has sheltered three wanted men in a hole under the kitchen of her house. After years without returning to her birthplace, Honorina’s daughter goes back with the grandchildren of these men to show them what remains of the hiding hole. At the same time, a theatre company is developing a dramatic piece based on the writings of the protagonists, which are coming to light for the first time.

Vacanza permanente
Ado Arrieta
Madrid. Phones ringing insistently, calls ignored. A series of male portraits emerge from the darkness in the light of cigarette lighters. On television, classic cinema speaks to us from the past. It is 2006, cinema has changed; Arrieta, now Italianised, welcomes this new cinema. In mini-dv, he plays with the countless variations that video editing allows him to compose a new story full of bifurcations, but with old motifs from his cinema: the man and his double, the spies and the spied, painting…
