We share with our audience the joy of having received the prize for the Dissemination of Cinema in Andalusia awarded to us by the Andalusian Film Writers' Association (ASECAN), to whom we are grateful for this award.
We would also like to congratulate Andalusian cinema for the well-deserved awards and recognitions obtained, which make possible its international projection and the growth of an industry that is increasingly taken into account for its quality, avant-garde and creativity.
Films, documentaries and short films by Andalusian filmmakers have always played a special role in the month of February, which is celebrated as the day of Andalusia, through a specific programme within the Martes de Cine (Cinema Tuesdays) project.
Our doors are always open to presentations, premieres, talks and events related to Andalusian cinema and collaborations with the different festivals held in this land that transmits cultures.
This February we are screening two feature films that have won awards at various festivals and two documentaries about two very different artists.
Tuesday 18 February, 20.30 h.
Menese
Direction, Remedios Malvárez. Co-directed by José Romero. Spain, 2019, 80 min.
Menese' is the portrait of a free, indomitable artist who loved flamenco above all else. A cantaor who was politically committed to the times he lived in and who, with the help of his ideologist and mentor Francisco Moreno Galván, revolutionised flamenco, taking it to places it had never reached before. Today these songs are recovered and reinterpreted by young women's voices, the new revolutionaries of today's flamenco.
The film will be presented in the presence of the directing team, Remedios Malvárez (director), José Romero (co-director) and Arturo Andújar (producer).
Free admission until full capacity is reached.
