The Foundation will dedicate its Martes Cine cycle to exploring the relationship between cinema, memory and identity through the feature film ‘Una quinta portuguesa’, a film starring Manolo Solo alongside Maria de Medeiros, and three documentaries that retell stories, voices and legacies that form part of our shared heritage.
Under the title ‘Cinema and Memory’, the programming proposes four very different approaches to that construction of memory: a beloved and close actor and musician who leaves us his legacy; the recent history of Spanish cinema through the extraordinary memory of Fernando Méndez-Leite; the search for the traces that explain the historical identity of Andalusia; and the recovery of the African presence and of black slavery in Spain and Portugal.
Four projections and four ways to ask ourselves what we retain, what we forget and how we transmit our memory to the next generations.
📅 Tuesday, October 20 – 19:30h
🎬 ‘THE KEYS TO MEMORY’
Jesus Armesto · Spain · 2016 · 94 min.
Ten years after its production, Martes Cine has restored this documentary by Jesús Armesto to re-examine the construction of the historical memory of Andalusia.
Sofía, a young university student, begins an investigation to try to discover the history of her land. Her journey through ruins, historical spaces, silences, and testimonies from experts gradually becomes a search for the traces on which the Andalusian identity has been built.
The projection will allow viewers to revisit the film a decade later and reflect on the relationship between history, memory, and identity.
