SINOPSIS Loving es la nueva película del aclamado guionista/director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Mud, Midnight Special). Loving retrata valor y el compromiso de una pareja interracial, Richard y Mildred Loving (interpretados en la película por Joel Edgerton y Ruth Negga), que se enamo- raron y se casaron en 1958. La pareja creció en Central Point, una pequeña ciudad de Virginia en el sur de Esta- dos Unidos. Sin embargo, fue el estado de Virginia, donde estaban construyendo su casa y formando una familia, quien les encarceló y luego los desterró por su condi- ción interracial. Richard y Mildred se mudaron con sus hijos a la ciudad de Washing- ton D.C. Mientras los familiares les hacían sentir bienvenidos allí, en el ambiente más urbano no se sentían cómodos para establecer su hogar. Además, la atracción de sus raíces en Virginia estimularía a Mildred a intentar encontrar un camino de regreso. Su caso de lucha por los derechos civiles, “Loving contra el estado de Virginia”, llegó hasta la Corte Suprema, que en 1967 reafirmó el fundamento mismo del derecho a casarse. Richard y Mildred lograron regresar a casa y su historia de amor se ha con- vertido en fuente de inspiración desde entonces. Focus Features presenta una producción de Raindog Films/Big Beach en asociación con Augusta Films y Tri-State Pictures. Con Joel Edgerton y Ruth Negga. LOVING. Contactos de prensa Fernando Lueches – [email protected] - 91 524 08 19 Borja Morais – [email protected] - 91 524 08 19 ANTECEDENTES: EL CASO LOVING VS VIRGINIA 29 de Octubre de 1933 Richard Perry Loving nace en Central Point, Virginia 22 de Julio de 1939 Mildred Delores Jeter nace en Central Point, Virginia 2 de Junio de 1958 A la espera de un hijo y pendientes de las leyes de segregación del estado de Virginia, Richard y Mildred se casan en Washington, D.C.; vuelven a su comunidad en Central Point y se mudan a casa de la familia de Mildred 11 de Julio de 1958 Bernard Mahon, Fiscal del Condado de Caroline para el Estado de Virginia, obtiene una orden de arresto contra Richard y Mildred Loving 12 de Julio de 1958 2:00 de la madrugada. El Sheriff R. Garnett Brooks y sus ayudantes entran en la ha- bitación de la pareja y los arrestan; los Loving son encarcelados en la prisión de la ciudad de Bowling Green, donde Richard pasa una noche antes de ser liberado tras pagar una fianza de 1,000$ 13-17 de Julio de 1958 El Sheriff Brooks rechaza el dinero de Richard para sacar a Mildred de allí, pasan 5 noches hasta que aceptan liberarla tras el pago de una fianza de 1,000$ Octubre de 1958 Los Loving son acusados por violar el Acta de Integración Racial del Estado de Virginia Enero de 1959 Les recomiendan declararse culpables, aceptan y son sentenciados por el Juez Leon Bazile a un año de cárcel; su sentencia se puede conmutar si abandonan el Condado de Caroline y el Estado de Virginia y no vuelven juntos o a la vez a dicho condado y estado por un periodo de 25 años” Los Loving se mudan a Washington, D.C., donde viven en casa del primo de Mildred, Alex Byrd y su mujer Laura 1963 Mildred escribe al Fiscal General de Estados Unidos Robert F. Kennedy, pidiéndole su ayuda; Kennedy les contesta que no puede hacer nada personalmente pero que enviará su caso a la sección en Washington de la Unión Americana por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU) En junio, el caso Loving es asignado al abogado de ACLU Bernard Cohen; unos me- ses después, Philip Hirschkop, abogado por los Derechos Civiles, se une al caso y ambos abogados trabajan pro bono En noviembre, Bernard Cohen pide una moción al juez Bazile para abolir la pena de los Loving y anular la sentencia 1964 Los Loving y sus tres hijos se mudan de nuevo a Virginia, viven en secreto en una granja en el Condado de King & Queen 22 de Enero de 1965 El juez Bazile deniega la petición y defiende las leyes de Virginia contra la interracia- lidad: “El señor todopoderoso creó las razas blanca, negra, amarilla, malaya, roja, y las puso a cada una en continentes separados. El hecho de que separara las razas nos muestra que no quería que se mezclaran.” 7 de Marzo de 1966 La Corte Suprema de Virginia valora la persistencia de los Loving, considera la pena de 25 años excesiva y deriva el caso al circuito estatal para que revise la sentencia 18 de Marzo de 1966 La revista LIFE incluye (sin firmante) el artículo “The Crime of Being Married,” acompañado de las fotos hechas por Grey Villet en blanco y negro de los Loving cerca de su casa en el condado de King & Queen; el artículo señala que el caso “Loving vs. Virginia devendrá el próximo nuevo hito en la lucha por los Derechos Civiles” Marzo de 1966 El caso “Loving vs Virginia” es enviado a la Corte Suprema de los Estado Unidos 9 de Abril de 1967 La Corte Suprema escucha los argumentos de las dos partes. Incluyendo el testimo- nio de Bernard Cohen: “Los Loving tienen el derecho de irse a la cama sabiendo que, si les pasara algo, sus hijos tienen derecho a heredar de sus padres. Tiene el derecho a saber que, si algo les pasara a alguno, el superviviente de la pareja podría ser consi- derado viudo y optar a los beneficios sociales asociados al hecho.” 12 de Junio de 1967 La Corte Suprema dictamina de manera unánime derogar las leyes anti mestizaje declarándolas inconstitucionales y una violación de la 4ª Enmienda que garantiza la igualdad, Earl Warren dice en su declaración final: “Bajo nuestra Constitución, la li- bertad para casarse, o no casarse, con una persona de otra raza reside en el individuo y no puede ser infringida por ningún Estado.” Cada 12 de Junio Loving Day, recuerdo anual de la decisión de la Corte Suprema. Sobre la Producción - ¿Por qué no he conocido esto antes? Esta es una frase habitual que se oye al descubrir los avances de los derechos humanos de décadas pasadas - y la historia de amor de Richard y Mildred Loving ha allanado el camino para muchos más desde entonces. La historia de Richard y Mildred vuelve ahora a la palestra de la mano del aclamado escritor y director Jeff Nichols en Loving. “Me sorprendió la simplicidad de su hermosa historia de amor”, dice el cineasta. Richard, que era blanco, y Mildred, que era mitad afroamericana y mitad nativa-americana, formaban una pareja normal de Central Point, Virginia. Decidieron casarse y fundar una familia. Sin embargo, en ese momento en Virginia, aquello iba contra la ley y fueron arrestados poco después de casarse. Como los demandantes en el caso “Loving vs Virginia”, fueron los catalizadores de la decisión de la Corte Suprema que abolió algunas leyes segregacionistas- como las leyes contra el matrimonio in- terracial - en los Estados Unidos. Estableciendo el matrimonio como un derecho fundamental, “Lo- ving vs Virginia” todavía se cita con frecuencia en los casos judiciales de hoy, incluso en los desafíos a las prohibiciones de matrimonio gay. Pero los Loving no eran activistas; simplemente esperaban que su matrimonio, plenamente legal en Washington D.C. les permitiera vivir pacíficamente en su ciudad natal de Central Point. Inicialmen- te, no hicieron ninguna apelación tras ser arrestados por violar las leyes del Estado de Virginia, y acordaron un trato que a efectos prácticos los desterró de su hogar para evitar la cárcel. Cuando los Loving finalmente buscaron ayuda legal en 1963, su único objetivo era poder volver y vivir en su hogar. Fue sólo en 1965, a instancias de sus abogados Bernard Cohen y Philip Hirschkop, cuando la pareja acordó publicar su historia y hablar con la prensa. Después de que la Corte Suprema fallara a su favor en junio de 1967, los Loving regresaron a su vida cotidiana y criaron a sus tres hijos en Central Point, y ya raramente dieron entrevistas. En 2008, Mildred falleció, su marido lo había hecho con anterioridad. Al leer sobre Mildred, la do- cumentalista Nancy Buirski se conmovió por la inquebrantable devoción del uno por el otro y por la relevancia contemporánea de su caso. Buirski decidió hacer un documental sobre Richard y Mildred Loving. Su investigación le llevó a la productora de televisión Hope Ryden, que había pasado horas filmando a los Loving en su casa en 1965 y luego volvió en 1967 para que ABC-TV los entrevistara en vísperas de la decisión judicial. Las imágenes y otros recursos de archivo, incluyendo instantáneas del fotógrafo de Life Magazine Gray Villet, fueron utilizados por Buirski en la escritura, producción y di- rección de The Loving Story. El documental participó en los festivales de 2011 antes de ser mostrado por la HBO en el Día de San Valentín de 2012.

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.
