La guitarra flamenca de Yerai Cortés

September 2024 •Spanish

When Antón Álvarez, C. Tangana, meets Yerai Cortés, he is fascinated by his talent and intrigued by his family history. Yerai is an unusual figure in flamenco, respected by both the more traditionalist Roma and the avant-garde artists of the new wave to which he belongs. They decide to embark on a journey together to record an album whose songs are marked by a great sadness, where the artistic process itself confronts him with his past and drives him to explore a family secret through which he tries to redeem his relationship with his parents. The result is a film that develops a unique musical experience to immerse us in a story of passion, love and forgiveness.

Valparaiso

August 1964 •French

In 1962 Joris Ivens was invited to Chile for teaching and filmmaking. Together with students he made …À Valparaiso, one of his most poetic films. Contrasting the prestigious history of the seaport with the present the film sketches a portrait of the city, built on 42 hills, with its wealth and poverty, its daily life on the streets, the stairs, the rack railways and in the bars. Although the port has lost its importance, the rich past is still present in the impoverished city. The film echoes this ambiguous situation in its dialectical poetic style, interweaving the daily life reality (of 1963) with the history of the city and changing from black and white to colour, finally leaving us with hopeful perspective for the children who are playing on the stairs and hills of this beautiful town.
