PROGRAMME
Wednesday 16
>7pm Ocaso (Twilight). Theo Court / 80´/ 2011 / Chile-Mexico.
The owner of an old farm in the Chilean countryside lives together with Rafael, his foreman. Rafael is elderly, he is an old man, but he continues to do his domestic tasks with the same tenacity as always. He is a little bit slower than decades before, but he looks after the land, collects the wood used to heat the large house and checks there is plenty of fresh water. It seems that the future can be guessed without much difficulty, like a fade to black at the end of a story with no shocks.
>9pm Las olas (The waves). Alberto Morais / 96´ / 2011 / Spain
Miguel is old, he lacks reflexes and suffers from a degree of narcolepsy. After his wife’s funeral he begins preparations for a long-awaited journey. He wants to go back to a place where he lost too many things, almost all of them unrecoverable, from his companion Emilia to a way of seeing the world.
Thursday 17
>7pm Reverón. Diego Risquez / 110´/ 2011 / Venezuela
This is an unusual love story beginning in 1924 and ending in 1954 on the shores of the fabulous Caribbean Sea recreating the work of the great Venezuelan visual artist Armando Reverón; his relationship with Juanita, his eternal companion and muse; the friends he saw frequently; the construction and recreation of objects forming part of his personal world; his obsession with the blinding tropical light; the development of his mental illness, and the relaxed, sensitive and painful universe within that home, studio and Arcadia known as “El Castillete”.
>9.30pm Después de mí (After me). Jesús Mora / 80´ / 2011 / Spain. Spanish O.V.
Toni, aged 45, dies after being run over on a road on the outskirts of a village in La Mancha. His father, Antonio, aged 70, a retired policeman, comes to take possession of the body. Ana, aged 25, was a nurse in Romania and, here, has been just about everything. She was Toni’s girlfriend and she left him a few days before the accident: a bittersweet memory she is making an effort to leave behind. They both meet when everything has already happened: alone, out of place, united by someone who does not exist.
Friday 18
>7pm Hora menos (An hour less)Frank Spano / 100´ / 2011 / Venezuela-Spain
Two women. Two generations. Two victims, two social classes meet during the tragedy that took away their past in a matter of hours. Isabel and Yudeixi are two different women united by the violence of destiny and turned into immigrants overnight.
>9pm Objeto encontrado (Object found). César Martínez Herrada / 85´ / 2011 / Spain. OUT OF COMPETITION
Objeto encontrado tells the story of the life and work of Antonio Pérez, an important character in Spanish culture because of his relationship with the principal events in Spain since the early fifties.
