There are not many Spanish directors who have raised the prized golden Oscar statuette. Now Spanish cinema enjoys international popularity, but it is worth remembering those who broke a barrier that at that time was a reinforced concrete wall. With this in mind, the cultural center count Duke pays homage to the first to succeed with a film in Spanish: Jose Luis Garciaon the 40th anniversary of the Oscar for ‘Start Over’, in 1983.
This summer, there is Garci for a while. On the one hand, from today until October 15, a exhibition which is a journey through those elements that ruined his life and work. Scripts of his films, photographs, books and all the key elements to understand this pioneering figure of national cinema. The exhibition, curated by Andres Amoros, revolves around its multiple artistic facets in addition to its 19 films. A whole show of admiration for the city that saw him born and grow, “a well-deserved tribute to some of its most illustrious citizens”, in the words of the institution.
On the other hand, the film cycle is projected Garcine, coordinated by Nickel Odeon Dos, on June 29 and 30 and throughout the month of September. For free, viewers will be able to enjoy ‘You’re the one’, ‘El crack 0’, ‘Holmes & Watson Madrid Days’ and, of course, ‘Volver a empezar’ on the big screen.
“All my life, since I was a child, I have dreamed of this moment. Dreams sometimes come true, “Garci pronounced in his speech when he received the Oscar for best foreign film. “It was a historic day for Spanish cinema,” says the Conde Duque center. It is always a good time to remember one of the greatest figures in our cinema. It is necessary to revisit his films with new eyes, to once again enjoy the little big conquests.
