A film produced by GET IN THE PICTURE PRODUCTIONS and co-produced by MANTAR FILM - CINE CHROMATIX - REC FILMS BASED ON BLOOD WEDDING THE BRIDE FROM FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA and I follow you through the air, like a straw lost in the wind. SYNOPSIS THE BRIDE - Based on “Blood Wedding” from F. García Lorca - Dirty hands tear the earth. A woman’s mouth shivers out of control. She breathes heavily, as if she were about to choke... We hear her cry, swallow, groan... Her eyes are flooded with tears. Her hands full with dry soil. There’s barely nothing left of her white dress made out of organza and tulle. It’s full of black mud and blood. Staring into the dis- tance, it’s dicult for her to breathe. Her lifeless face, dirtied with mud, soil, blood... she can’t stop crying. Although she tries to calm herself the crying is stronger, deeper. THE BRIDE, alone underneath a dried tree in the middle of a swamp, screams out loud, torn, endless... comfortless. LEONARDO, THE GROOM and THE BRIDE, play together. Three kids in a forest at the banks of a river. The three form an inseparable triangle. However LEONARDO and THE BRIDE share an invisible string, ferocious, unbreakable... THE GROOM looks at them... Years have gone by, and THE BRIDE is getting ready for her wedding. She’s unhappy. Doubt and anxiety consume her. She lives in the middle of white dessert lands, barren, in her father’s house with a glass forge.

The Histories, Volume 4, Number 2 36 II Land and Freedom: An Accurate Glimpse of Spain’s Civil War Reviewed by Matthew E. Kowalski In most American history texts, the Spanish Civil War is often viewed as simply a ‘dress-rehearsal’ for the Second World War. As a consequence, the prevailing image of the conflict is that of a straightforward contest between the forces of fascism and democracy. This gross oversimplification of one of the 20th century’s most important conflicts, fails to take into account the considerable diversity of political thought within both the Nationalist and Republican camps. British director Ken Loach’s 1996 film Land and Freedom, attempts to overcome this common oversight. By focusing his attention on the internal conflict that developed between independent socialists and the Stalinist controlled Spanish Communist Party, Loach provides a more complete picture of events of 1936-39.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

It is a stop-motion animated feature – and, as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is a girl of 11 who is feisty, curious, and adventurous beyond her years. She and her parents (Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman) have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment. She is befriended – or, as she sees it, is annoyed – by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.); and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian Mr.
