Mediterranean, party and carnival. In tribute to Luis García Berlanga
Thursday 18, 6:00 p.m. La Nau.
The parties spans the entire filmography of the Valencian filmmaker Luis García Berlanga. It is present, in a more or less relevant way, in all of his work. A popular party that, in his case, sucks directly from his beloved Fallas, as an unequivocal sign of the jubilant, anarchic and carnival character of his cinema. A cinema limited to the Mediterranean area, within the Spanish context, but which could well spread, like wildfire evocative of the equally pyrotechnic referential context, to the rest of the countries and directors of the Mediterranean arc in which his work is inscribed.
In collaboration with the Luis García Berlanga-CEU Cathedra
