HARVEST 2019During the last months, the most serious and prestigious film festivals in the world have come to realize the youthful vitality and the creative force that emerges from multiple areas of the Spanish cinema: from the realms of new generations and from the circles of the most independent cinema, but also from the undisputed talent of already consolidated authors with a long projection abroad.

The opening of that window is not the result of chance. The access to those essen-tial industrial and cultural showcases is a consequence of a reality and a collective impulse that is clearly visible indoors (in Spanish film festivals, cultural circuits and screens), but which also raises the interest of critics, programmers and festivals from all around the world.

The first months of 2019 account for that growing visibility. It became already evident at the demanding appointment of Rotterdam, in whose Tiger Competition was included the newest movie by Carlos Marques-Marcet (Els dies que vindran / The Days to Come), while in parallel sections were Lluís Miñarro with Love Me Not (selected in the Moscow Festival immediately after this), Andrés Duque (Carelia. Internacional con monumento) and Isaki Lacuesta, whose Entre dos aguas (Between two Waters; winner of the Golden Shell in San Sebastián) was picked for the occa-sion, while at the same time the Spanish-Uruguayan coproduction Belmonte, directed by Federico Veiroj, also found a place at the Dutch event.

Immediately after, the great encounter of the Berlinale opened a space for Isabel Coixet’s Elisa y Marcela (Elisa & Marcela) to compete in its International Competition, which also picked two short films: Irene Moray’s Suc de síndria and Ion de Sosa & Chema García Ibarra’s Leyenda dorada. At the same time, another woman (Neus Ballús, with Staff Only) was greeted in the Panorama section, while Culinary Cinema screens hosted Y en cada lenteja un dios (A God in Each Lentil), by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, whose next work (Sumendia) is already in post-production. Meanwhile, overseas, the prestigious indie event South by Southwest (Austin; USA) summoned 7 razones para huir (7 Reasons to Run Away), by Gerard Quinto, Esteve Soler and David Torras.

Finally, Spanish cinema comes back this year with honors and with a triple presence to the big festival in Cannes, with a movie selected at the competitive Official Section (Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film, Dolor y gloria / Pain and Glory, critically acclaimed in Spain) and two more within the frame of Un Certain Regard: Albert Serra’s Liberté and Oliver Laxe’s O que arde (Fire Will Come). Spanish cinema will also be present at the Director’s Fortnight, with the short film Je te tiens, by Sergio Caballero, and one coproduction with Perú: Canción sin nombre (Song Without a Name), by Melina León.

The path cannot be wider: Spanish cinema has been present at the official selec-tion of the three biggest festivals of the first semester (Rotterdam, Berlin, Cannes) and the list of filmmakers summoned to their most important sections (Carlos Marques-Marcet, Lluís Miñarro, Andrés Duque, Isaki Lacuesta, Isabel Coixet, Neus Ballús, Irene Moray, Ion de Sosa, Chema García Ibarra, Pedro Almodóvar, Albert Serra, Oliver Laxe...) allows us to see an invigorating generational range in which experience and youth, international prestige and hope for the future, avant-garde aesthetics search and splendid creative maturity that goes hand in hand within an enviable diversity.

Promises and realities in the great harvest of 2019.

pain and Glory

Synopsis. Pain and Glory tells of a series of reencounters experienced by Salvador Mallo, a film director in his physical decline. Some of them in the flesh, others remembered: his childhood in the 60s, when he emigrated with his parents to a village in Valencia in search of prosperity, the first desire, his first adult love in the Madrid of the 80s, the pain of the breakup of that love while it was still alive and intense, writing as the only therapy to forget the unforgettable, the early discovery of cinema, and the infinite void that creates the incapacity to keep on making films. Pain and Glory talks about creation, about the difficulty of separating it from one’s own life and about the passions that give it meaning and hope. In recovering his past, Salvador finds the urgent need to recount it, and in that need he also finds his salvation.

Pedro AlmodóvAr“Quite unintentionally, Pain and Glory is the third part of a spontaneously created trilogy that has taken thirty two years to complete. The first two parts are Law of Desire and Bad Education. In the three films, the protagonists are male characters who are film directors, and in the three desire and cinematic fiction are the pillars of the story, but the way in which fiction is glimpsed alongside reality differs in each one of them. Fiction and life are two sides of the one coin, and life always includes pain and desire. (…) If you write about a director (and your work consists of directing films), it’s impossible not to think of yourself and not take your experience as a reference (…). I remember that during rehearsals I said to Antonio: If you think that in any sequence it’ll help if you imitate me, you can do it. Antonio said no, that it wasn’t necessary. And he was right, his character wasn’t me, but it was inside me”.(Excerpt from Pedro Almodóvar’s text in the movie’s pressbook)

liberté

Je te tiens

AlbERT SERRAWe are in Louis XV’s France, in the eighteenth century. A group of libertines have been expelled from the royal court, they are lost somewhere in Europe, they don’t know what to do or where to go. In a mysterious space, desire arouses while they are watched. There are many things in the story close to Marquis de Sade, such as the opposition between passion and will, rules and arbitrarity, desire and reason. Licentiousness becomes something somber. The movie begins as a historical fiction, but ends up projecting something very dark that defines our current society.I couldn’t tell if I’ve made a movie against political correctness or if it is about the unease of the contemporary world. I tend to think it’s the latter. There is something very strange and disquieting in our societies, that appears at the end of the movie (…). There are things that connect with Story of my Death or with the exhibition Singularity, but here everything is darker, as our present.(Excerpt from the interview with Àngel Quintana; Caimán Cuadernos de Cine, nº 82/133; May, 2019)

fire Will come

song Without a name

OlIvER lAxEO que arde is a little rural Galician tale. I wanted to make a portrait of all the people who survive the rural holocaust through the tale of a mother and her single son, who live in a lost little village in Galicia’s mountains, in Os Ancares, with three cows and an old dog. My first intention in making the movie was to return home, to the village where my mother was born and which is now deserted, surrounded by my family (my mother and some of my cousins and uncles appear in the film). I wanted to recover somehow that place with which I have a very deep connection through personal memories. But, at the same time, I was interested in working about a figure reviled by society, demonized. Hence the presence of the alleged arsonist and the fire. And at this point, I tried to make the film polysemic, ambiguous, mysterious, femenine... That’s why we do not know with certainty if he is an incendiary or not and, above all, this is not a film about fire, but fire is instead a background element, a kind of mirror in which all the characters in the film look at themselves.(Excerpt from the interview with Jara Yáñez; Caimán Cuadernos de Cine, nº 82/133; May, 2019)

It is the story of four women and a girl whose existence is disrupted by the sudden arrival of two strangers. One of them is fleeing from the other, sneaking around town like a ghostly presence. The other one (an injured man carrying a gun) will disrupt the women’s way of life in different ways. The plot takes place on the fine line between reality and imagination, between dreams and nightmares, within a story shrouded in mystery.

Synopsis. Eva has turned her decision to spend August in Madrid into a leap of faith; a vital necessity, joyful yet mysterious.

laNd of Milk aNd hoNey the islaNd of lies

Synopsis. A mosaic of displacement. An intimate portrait of men and women whose lives have been terribly transformed by war and violence. In the daily lives of these people we will see the aftermaths of Balkan wars with thousands of people still living in collective centers, refugees from Middle East who live in a legal limbo after reaching Greek shores, and families that are being relocated in new houses promoted by the Government in Tbilisi. A reflection on an universal phenomenon that repeats itself again and again since the beginning of the History.

Synopsis. In 1921, the steamboat Santa Isabel was carrying 260 emigrants to America, when it sank just off the island of Salvora in Galicia, Spain. Only three women came to help and managed to rescue 50 of the passengers. While the women are lauded as heroines, the suspicion that the accident was provoked starts to spread like wildfire. The main instigator of the rumor is an Argentinean journalist, who arrives on the island to cover the story.
