The most remarkable aspect of TV movies is that they have embraced almost the full gambit of the- mes, though they have perhaps found their greatest area of growth in biopics and news or fact- based stories. This is the legacy the Catalan film and television industry took up very few years ago, and it has since gone on to create a burgeoning portfolio of TV movie titles. Over 50 titles have been broadcast in dedicated slots on Televisió de Catalunya, some involving new approaches to co-production. This catalogue brings together the most recent crop, conceived with a view to accessing all possible sales channels: theatrical release, theme channels, satellite, etc. In brief, these are high-quality productions which are attracting the interest and the applause of their home audiences and are set to do the same on the international market.

A charming, headstrong young woman, she likes to plan her life rather than leave it to chance. She's achieved a lot already: a great husband, a big house, a comfortable life. But what she wants most of all is a child – and she’s arranged for that, too. On her way to Quito to adopt a child, Carla suddenly finds herself in Barcelona, on the run with a charming young artist named Raul and a pain- ting he stole from Berlin museum. When the painting is re-stolen by thugs, Carla and Raul are in double trouble. The least of their problems is the pair of policemen chasing them: Antonio, a gentlemanly Catalan police inspector and Kurt his coarse, bumbling Berlin colleague. The real problem is the master criminal who commissioned Raul to steal the painting and who wants it delivered - now. To prove the point he kidnaps Raul’s sister. Up to her neck in big time criminal exploits, Carla puts her plans for a perfect life on hold – though she’s not giving up on that child in Quito.... > Director: David Carreras > Produced by: Steinweg Emotion Pictures/TVC/Network Movie (Germany) – 2004 > Executive producer: Julia Steinweg > Script: Peter Nadermann/Luis Vega/Angeles Diemant-Hartz > Director of photography: Oscar Faura/Bernat Bosch > Original score: Ia Clua > Sound: Salva Mayolas > Cast: Ximo Solano/Jessica Schwarz/Luis Homar/Armin Rohde > Genre: Romantic comedy > Audience: General > Nº of episodes: 1 x 87 min.

  • Rated Equis: American Reactions to the Films of Pedro Almodóvar
    Rated Equis: American Reactions to the Films of Pedro Almodóvar Honors College Thesis Catherine Wheeler Advisor: Tina Escaja Spanish Department University of Vermont Introduction Sweet heart of mine suddenly attacked. All for loving more than the permissible. All because a cigar sits in a mouth And dampens in its succulent silks. Because a provocative T-shirt points out On his chest, the sculpted shield, And a vigorous arm peeks from the smallest sleeve. All because some legs, some perfect legs, In the tightest pants, separate in front of me. They separate. -Ana Rossetti, “Chico Wrangler” (Translated Catherine Wheeler) Pedro Almodóvar, now the world’s most celebrated Spanish film director since Luis Buñuel, has been hailed as the poster boy for the Madrid movida, an “anything goes” cultural movement that immediately followed the death of Francisco Franco in 1975. The movida has been called an attempt to unify all people regardless of birthplace, politics, economics, and sexual identity, while in practice it pertained mostly to the middle and upper classes. After nearly forty years of extreme conservatism under Franco’s regime, the youth of Madrid reacted to its newfound creative and sexual liberty with unparalleled gusto. The movida emphasized a reversal of traditional gender roles, sexual experimentation, and drug use. By its end in the mid 1980s, politicians had embraced the movida as Madrid’s new, post-fascism identity (Stapell). This political institutionalization of an originally pseudo anarchistic movement signified the death of the period of extreme self-liberation. The movida petered out by the mid 1980s, largely due to the spread of AIDS and movida members’ rampant drug use.

  • El Cine De Pedro Almodóvar, Barcelona, Destino, 1989, 446 Pp
    RESEÑAS un salón de palacio en el que el culto se desarrolla en un clima no muy distinto del de una fiesta de la corte. El primero se halla naturalmente en Valencia: el de la Virgen de los Desam- parados (1652)» (p. 87). Es confuso el sentido que el autor quiere dar a ese «naturalmente». Además, en la cita, se mezcla apretada toda una serie de conceptos que abarcan varios siglos, desde el desarrollo del carácter monárquico y unitario del Papado y el progresivo lujo cortesano en la Corte, tanto la eclesiástica como la real, a la disociación protestante ya vieja. Además, el camarín de la Virgen no fue concebido para el culto -a no ser que se refiera el autor a la basílica entera construida al mismo tiem- po- sino para una visita-homenaje a la imagen de la Virgen al estilo del rendido a los monarcas. No es siempre fácil mantener la distinción entre arquitectura y escultura, así las referencias múltiples a que la separación obli- ga pueden confundir al lector, como, por ejemplo, la simple atri- bución a Hipólito Rovira del palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas (p. 88). En efecto, Rovira, pintor, concibió y dibujó la fachada pintada, pero la realización en alabastro de su magnífico portal (17 40-17 44) se debe al escultor valenciano Ignacio Vergara (cf. p. 188). La falta de un índice de nombres hace difícil el uso selectivo de la información contenida en estos estudios. Y resulta irritante para el lector la falta de calidad del papel que deja que la tinta pase al reverso de la página.

  • Demands of Female Representations in Spanish Audiovisuals: a Study of a Decade of Archetypes of Women in the Goya Awards
    Revista de Ciencias de la Comunicación e Información. 2021.

(2021). Demands of female representations in spanish audiovisuals: a study of a decade of archetypes of women in the goya awards. Revista de Ciencias de la Comunicación e Información, Vol. 26, 39-57. http://doi.org/10.35742/rcci.2021.26.e138 ABSTRACT In recent years, the Goya Awards have become a stage for the claims of the Spanish film sector due to the media coverage of the gala. Based on a methodological triangulation that applies case studies, content analysis, and in-depth interviews, this research proposes a new categorization of female archetypes in current Spanish cinema, proves the existence of gender discrimination through the stereotypical representation of women, and analyses whether these archetypes are also perpetuated and disseminated through high-end women's magazines and Sunday supplements. The main conclusion of this study is that the creation of a protectionist law to put an end to this marginalization is essential and a debt from Spain's historical and political past. KEYWORDS: Spanish Cinema, Goya Awards, women, gender stereotypes, demands. RESUMEN Los Premios Goya se han convertido en los últimos años en escenario de reivindicaciones del sector cinematográfico español por la repercusión mediática de su gala.

  • Spanish Cinema After Franco at BFI Southbank in June 2011
    PRESS RELEASE MAY 2011 11/33 Good Morning Freedom! Spanish Cinema After Franco At BFI Southbank in June 2011 The death of Spain’s long term dictator Francisco Franco in 1975 gave rise to an alternative, adventurous and eclectic movement within Spanish culture that is reflected its filmmaking. BFI Southbank, throughout May, mounts a season celebrating the birth of this exciting period of cinema and features an extended run of the BFI release, Cria Cuervos (Raise Ravens, 1975) as well as screenings of both well known examples of the era, such as Pedro Almodóvar’s Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, 1998), alongside lesser known titles including The Anchorite (El anacoreta, 1977) and Opera Prima (1980). The lifting of censorship following Franco’s demise brought with it the birth of a filmmaking generation unleashed from a climate of repression, approaching subjects that couldn’t have been mentioned before: sex, drugs, homosexuality, politics and all with an innovative, free spirit that brought together filmmakers, professional and amateur actors, designers and musicians. From late 1975 to the end of the 80s, when democracy had already consolidated in the country, emerged the movement which has come to be known as ‘la Movida Madrileña’, which saw such talents as Pedro Almodóvar and Iván Zulueta emerge in the field of cinema. The Movida was mainly a music movement to which many young bands from the capital contributed but, with mottos like ‘Madrid nunca duerme’ (‘Madid never sleeps’) or ‘¡Esta noche todo el mundo a la calle!’ (‘Everybody in the street tonight!’) – its spirit extended to other fields such as film, television, photography, fashion, comics and fanzines.

By examining the influence of Franco’s censorship on the film industry, this paper will analyze how his censorship affected the changes that took place in cinema after his death by analyzing the films of Pedro Almodóvar. The first part of this paper focuses on the censorship measures that were put into place by Franco’s regime. The paper also examines what genres were popular during Franco’s era and how the regime attempted to manipulate the film industry in order to promote its fascist ideology. The paper goes on to discuss several directors who challenged Franco’s censorship and the Franco myth, the messages and themes that were promoted by that state in fascist films.

    FILM LIBRARY 2018 Latido Films is an international sales agency founded in 2003 to commercialize all-film rights of titles from all over the world (with a line-up of no more than 15 per year to ensure our quality standards), with a special focus in Spain and Latin-America and lately Eastern Europe. Latido has collaborated with prestigious filmmakers such as Juan Jose Campanella (“The Weasels”, “The Secret In Their Eyes” – Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film), Carlos Saura (“J: Beyond Flamenco”, “Fados”), Andres Wood (“Violeta Went To Heaven” and “Machuca”), just to mention some of them. Moreover, we support established arthouse directors such as Krzysztof Zanussi, Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat. On the other hand, we work with box office hits such as “Champions“ by Javier Fesser and “The Best Summer Of My Life” by Dani de la Orden. Likewise, Latido seeks after rising up new talents like Bartosz M. Kowalski (“Playground”) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Realm”, “May God Save Us”). We are also convinced that there’s a market for movies by striking new women directors, such as Pepa San Martin (“Rara”), Laura Mora (“Killing Jesus”) and Arantxa Echevarría (“Carmen & Lola”). Multi-audience animations and ground-breaking documentaries are also a must in our catalogue. FILM LIBRARY 1973. Uruguay is governed by a military dictatorship.

    PEDRO ALMODÓVAR PART ONE (1 AUGUST – 31 AUGUST) Pedro Almodóvar in Conversation His name is synonymous with Spanish cinema. One of the world’s most celebrated filmmakers, Pedro Almodóvar has created iconic roles for some of cinema’s grandes dames and a wealth of unforgettable screen images. His 20th feature film, Julieta, played in competition to critical acclaim at Cannes earlier this year. In addition to our extended run of Julieta, we’re pleased to welcome the Spanish master for an in-depth conversation about his career, his love of cinema and the influences that have shaped his unique cinematic language.

Dir Pedro Almodóvar. With Emma Suárez, Adriana Ugarte, Rossy de Palma, Inma Cuesta. 99min. Digital. EST. 15 A ravishing study of love and loss from one of contemporary cinema’s great auteurs.
