THE SPANISH CRASH AND THE “INDIGNADOS” MOVEMENT
|
comments (0)
Tenemos una gran oportunidad de acercarnos a la actual situación de crisis española y al Movimiendo de Los Indignados (15M) que, tomado La Plaza del Sol en Madrid, lanzaron un movimiento mundial que exigía más y mejor democracia. Los Indignados españoles resonaron fuertemente en los Estados Unidos cuando surgen los movimientos Occupy Wall Street y Somos el 99%.
La crisis española continúa y ha desencadenado una crisis social de consecuencias impredecibles. Con un desempleo del 25% (50% entre los jóvenes), la ola de españoles que emigran a otras latitudes - en su mayoría jóven y preparada - sigue aumentando. Los destinos favoritos son los Estados Unidos y América Latina, pero también el resto de Europa y hasta Africa está recibiendo esta inmigración de la peninsula ibérica.
Esta serie de documentales y mesa redonda se presenta en el Centro Rey Juan Carlos I de la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU), Octubre 18 y 19. Para más información, visita: KJJC.
ABOUT:
SPAIN IN CRISIS: THE SPANISH CRASH AND THE “INDIGNADOS” MOVEMENT. Documentary Film Series and Round Table. Friday-Saturday, October 18-19.
Measures to pull Spain out of its current financial crisis are failing to bear fruit and exacerbating social tensions. This two-day program, the first of its kind, showcases the Spanish crash from different perspectives: television journalism; a consulting firm’s video aimed at recruiting investors; a collective documentary on the 15M movement; and responses by a number of influential Spanish audiovisual artists. The program will end with a panel discussion by scholars.

- The Great Spanish Crash (BBC documentary directed by Alicia Arce, reporter Paul Mason) Spain / 2012 / 60 min / English and Spanish with English subtitles.

It is also meant to honor some of the cinema’s present-day combatants (Frank Pineda, Florence Jaugey, John Gianvito, Laura Waddington, Florent Marcie, Edouard Beau, Olivier Dury, Paul Cronin…) who are renewing these ideals in different political contexts. “Within oneself, there are also the others” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1997).

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his
father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial
strains, Armando's younger brother Raúl (Diego Luna) shows up with his
new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodríguez) and pledges to settle all his
father's debt. It seems that Raul's success as an international
businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls
for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit,
the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most
feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal).

CHICO & RITA is an epic story of love, passion, and heartbreak. Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and desire unite them as they chase their dreams and each other from Havana to New York to Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas.

* Miss Bala. De Gerardo Naranjo. México >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.
Esta no es una película con una visión
romántica de México ni mucho menos una oda al narcoterrorismo. Al
contrario, como lo expresa Gerardo Naranjo en el video que pueden ver
debajo, MISS BALA busca presentar de manera más fidedigna lo que está
sucediendo en en país vecino en donde la violencia desatada sobre
ciudadanos indefensos aumenta cada día, ante la incapacidad (o
complicidad) del Estado para protegerlos.
Con largas tomas y sólidas actuaciones,
MISS BALA nos introduce a este mundo sórdido desde el punto de vista de
una jóven, Stephanie Sigman, con sueños de reina de belleza.
* The Artist. De Michel Hazanavici
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
* NEON FLESH. De Pablo Cabezas. España > En Cartelera.
Full of style and wild humor, NEON FLESH is a high-energy crime thriller centered around Ricky and the underground world that he lives in. His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain.

* VIDEOTECA DEL SUR >> Cine Latinoamericano >> Videoteca.
MAS ESTRENOS:
* FOOTNOTE > Written and Directed by Joseph Cedar. Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Nominee. Winner of the Best Screenplay Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival > Opens March 9 .
FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.
* BLACK BUTTERFLIES. Directed by Paula Van Der Oest > Opens March 2 in NYC.
Poetry, politics, madness and desire collide in the story of the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, “A Game of Thrones”) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs. Amid escalating quarrels with her lovers and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), the poet witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives.

* DETACHMENT. Directed by
Tony Kaye (AMERICAN HISTORY X) >> Out March 16 in NYC > March 23 Los Angeles.
The long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute
teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never
staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or
colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds
himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a
frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role
model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is
just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and
death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless
world.
Kaye
has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly
distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. DETACHMENT
features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia
Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim
Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami
Gayle and Betty Kaye.

OCTUBRE – WINNER: BEST FEATURE FILM
Clemente, a moneylender of few words, is a new hope for Sofía, his single neighbor devoted to the October worship of Our Lord of the Miracles. They're brought together over a new-born baby, the fruit of Clemente's relationship with a prostitute who's nowhere to be found. While Clemente is looking for the child’s mother, Sofía cares for the baby and looks after the moneylender's house. With the arrival of these beings in his life, Clemente has the opportunity to reconsider his emotional relations with people. Octubre, the first feature film from Peruvian brothers Daniel and Diego Vega, is a deadpan dark comedy incorporating influences ranging from Jim Jarmush and Aki Kaurismaki to Robert Bresson, and winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival-Un Certain Regard.
Director: Daniela and Diego Vega. 83 min.
2010. 35mm.
Peru. In Spanish with English subtitles.

LEAP
YEAR (AÑO BISIESTO) – WINNER:
BEST DIRECTOR, FEATURE FILM
Michael Rowe’s debut feature
film, winner of the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, tells the
story of Laura, a young journalist living an isolated life in a cramped Mexico City flat who is
not lucky in love. The banality of her daily life stands in stark contrast to
her nightly pursuit of sex and love. These short-lived affairs barely take the
edge off her isolation, but then she meets the brooding, would-be actor Arturo.
Their chemistry ignites feelings in Laura that leave her deeply troubled. The
two embark on an increasingly dangerous sadomasochistic relationship in which
pleasure, pain and love merge. Their physical relationship seems headed for a
very dark place as her secret past resurfaces, pushing Arturo to the limit in
this intense, powerful and at times deeply unsettling movie.
Director: Michael Rowe. 94 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.

NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT – WINNER: BEST DOCUMENTARY

THE TINIEST PLACE (EL LUGAR MÁS PEQUEÑO) – WINNER: BEST FIRST FILM AND BEST DIRECTOR,
DOCUMENTARY FILM
Hailed as “one of the most
impressive debuts by a Mexican filmmaker” by Robert Koehler (Variety), Huezo’s remarkable film
tells the story of Cinquera, a tiny place nestled in the mountains amidst
the humid jungle that was ravaged by the bloody civil war that swept El
Salvador between 1980 and 1992. The powerful and hypnotic documentary depicts a
community that has learned to live with its sorrow, an annihilated town that
re-emerges through the strength and deep love of its inhabitants for the land
and people. With a lyrical eye, Huezo interweaves the simplicity of the
town’s present life with tragic testimonies of the past. The Tiniest Place is ultimately a story of
resilience, hope and the ability of the human being to reinvent himself after
surviving a tragedy.
Director: Tatiana Huezo. 104 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.
