"For me there are no genres or types of films. Types are made for commercial reasons and contribute to the confusion of cinema in general. For me cinema is divided into good and bad films."

Tchindas

Directors:  Marc Serena and Pablo García

Executive producer: Yolanda Olmos/Marc Serena

Director of photography:  Pablo García

Sound: Marc Serena/Veronica Font

Synopsis:

In 1998 she was interviewed by a local newspaper, explaining her story for the first time. It was her only media appearance, but it was enough to become well-known around Cape Verde, even in the islands she has never visited. Now, tchinda is the local byword for gay Cape Verdeans. 

Without setting out to do so, she has become a legend, one of the best-known women in this archipelago 500 km off the coast of Senegal. She is now 35 and has won the respect of her neighbours, sometimes by force, as the scar on her nose reminds us.

She is a leader. She is tireless, loyal and fascinating. A woman of action, able to unite a whole neighbourhood, she deserves to be the first Black African trans woman to be recognised on the big screen.

In the mid 1970s Christa Leem reinvented an art.

But Christa showed us her naked, pale, light and premature body in order to reveal much more to us: a transparent and free soul.

 

 

 

"I like to live life, to live it to the full; I enjoy living it, whether it is on the street, at home, at work, with friends, alone, with my dogs, at the beach, in the country, on a plane, on a moped, anywhere... I enjoy life."

Synopsis:

There are many reasons why Mura is a cinema town. First, because the town has been untouched by time. Second, because of its privileged location, nestling in a beautiful valley surrounded by breathtaking mountains and flanked by a small stream. Third, because its small school offered the children film classes, through Cinema en Curs (Cinema in Course), a pilot programme in Catalonia. And finally, because of the number of films shot in its streets over the last century.

A trip. A cardboard camera and an unfinished love story. In his obsession to catch time, love and beauty, Victor never got to finish his project. Now, some children with an open and childish gaze try to get the footage which the adult director aspired and failed to get: catching life.

LA VANGUARDIA, 24th June 2007, Lluis Bonet Mújica

 

… the final result, mysterious, delicate, without doubt one of the most unique exercises that Spanish cinema has provided in the last few years.

AVUI, 26th June 2007, Carlos Losilla

 

…Bolboreta meditates on how a film camera can be used to preserve the visual essence of a unique time and place.

NEW YORK TIMES, Tuesday 13th November 2007, Nathan Southern 

 

… is the infancy of art captured with all its flavour, chaste and happy.

Synopsis:

Life goes on in Fuente Álamo on a summer's day. The light, the sounds, the hours go by, from daybreak to night, recorded by a hidden observer, inconspicuous and discreet, caressing the daily occurrences in the lives of the boys and girls, of granny Maria, of the girls from the shoe factory, and of Pedro and Guillermo, two farm workers. And at the end of the day, the fiesta of the "gazpachos". A true story with a twist and a reflection on the passing of time.

 

 

"Watch out for this film"

José Luís Guerín

Miguel Marías

 

"...Pablo has managed to transform the dust of the tracks in La Mancha into gold dust..."

Joaquín Jordá

 

 

"... 'Fuente Álamo, the caress of time' leads us to think that Víctor Erice may finally have successors in Spanish cinema..."
