  • La Mujer Es Cosa De Hombres-Isabel Coixet
    50 años de... - La mujer, cosa de hombres. Isabel Coixet. Corto dirigido por Isabel Coixet en torno al tradicional papel de la mujer en la sociedad española y la repercusión que tienen en los medios los delitos por violencia de género. http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/50-anos-de/50-anos-mujer-cosa- hombres/1491834/ Isabel Coixet nació en Sant Adrià del Besós el 9 de abril de 1960. Estudió Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Barcelona, trabajó como periodista en la revista Fotogramas . Su afición a la imagen le hace acercarse al mundo del cine, desempeñando diversas tareas y al mundo de la publicidad en el que, tras un tiempo, creará productora propia. Años más tarde, decidida a filmar su primer largometraje, se traslada a Estados Unidos a rodar Cosas que nunca te dije (1996). Un año después, nace su hija Zoe. Es un peso pesado de la industria publicitaria, y dirigió anuncios por todo el mundo: ha sido directora creativa de la agencia JWT, fundadora y directora creativa de la agencia Target y la productora Eddie Saeta, obteniendo los más prestigiosos premios por sus trabajos en este campo. En el año 2000 creó la productora Miss Wasabi Films desde donde también ha realizado destacados documentales -y vídeo clips a los más variados músicos En 2005 realiza La vida secreta de las palabras cuyos protagonistas son Tim Robbins y Sarah Polley.

Thank you. 1 The Passion of Marta Díaz de Lope Díaz: A Conversation with the Filmmaker In her directorial debut, Ronda native Marta Díaz de Lope Díaz takes inspiration from the cartography of her origin for her filmic vision. Her cultural roots anchor her life and filmography, that she has been perfecting over the years of her study and teaching at the ESCAC film school in Barcelona. Her first feature-length film, Mi querida cofradía (Hopelessly Devout), clearly reflects this influence since it drinks and revels in the most traditional celebration of her hometown: Holy Week. Likewise, as can be seen in this interview, the feature establishes an interesting parallel between the passion of the protagonist Carmen (Gloria Muñoz) to realize her dream of leading her Catholic brotherhood and the aspiration of its own Marta Díaz to become a film director. With humor, her cinema masterfully delves into the experiences of women, of their sisterhood, in both the private and public spheres, displaying the obstacles that they encounter when trying to fulfill their goals in a man’s world and exhibiting their skills at overcoming interference.

  • Introduction
    Introduction 1 Iciar Bollaín (left) rehearsing Mataharis Iciar Bollaín (Madrid, 1967), actress, scriptwriter, director and producer, is one of the most striking figures currently working in the Spanish cinema, and the first Spanish woman filmmaker to make the Oscars shortlist (2010). She has performed in key films directed by, among others, Víctor Erice, José Luis Borau, Felipe Vega and Ken Loach. Starting out as assistant director and co­scriptwriter, she has Santaolalla_Bollain.indd 1 04/04/2012 15:38 2 The cinema of Iciar Bollaín gone on to make four short films and five feature films to date, all but one scripted or co­scripted by her. She is also one of the founding members of Producciones La Iguana S. L., a film production company in existence since 1991. Her work raises questions about authorship, female agency and the mediation in film of social issues. It also highlights the tensions between creative and industrial priori­ ties in the cinema, and national and transnational allegiances, while prompting reflection on the contemporary relevance of cinéma engagé. Bollaín’s contribution to Spanish cinema has been acknowledged both by film­goers and the industry. Te doy mis ojos (Take My Eyes, 2003) is one of a handful of Spanish films seen by over one million spectators, and was the first film made by a woman ever to receive a Best Film Goya Award (Spanish Goya­equivalent) from the Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España (Spanish Film Academy).1 Recognition has also come through her election to the Executive Committee of the College of Directors and Scriptwriters of the SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores) in July 2007, and to the Vice­Presidency of the Spanish Film Academy in June 2009.2 The varied range of Bollaín’s contribution to Spanish cinema, and the extent to which she is directly involved in key roles associated with filmmaking, inevitably lead to speculation on the extent to which she may be regarded as an auteur.

English Language Spanish Films since the 1990s Abstract Is there such a thing as “Spanish identity”? If so, what are the characteristics that best define it? incS e the early 1990s we have observed a movement toward young Spanish directors interested in making a different kind of cinema that departs markedly from the lighthearted landismo of the 70s and, later, the indulgent almodovarismo of the 80s. These new directors—as well as producers and actors—are interested in reaching out to wider audiences, in and outside of Spain. The internationalization they pursue comes, in many cases, with an adoption of the English language in their works. This multicultural cinema presents a dilemma: what characteristics define a S“ panish” movie? This study explores and argues for the use of the terms “world cinema” and “glocal cinema” in favor of outdated notions of “national cinema” while pointing out the need for defining clear notions of the new, plural and inclusive forms of Spanishness evident in films today.
