N-VI - VANISHING ROADSIDES
Dir. Pela Del Álamo, 86m, Spain, 2012, Spanish and Galician with English subtitles.
UK Premiere
We used to travel along roads that went through inhabited places. Now, those roads have been replaced by motorways isolated from the landscape they cross. For a long time, the N-VI was one of the most important roads in Spain, its 600 kilometres being the link between Madrid and Galicia. The A-6 motorway covers now the entire route. Some stretches of the old N-VI have disappeared; some others have been virtually abandoned, like drifting islands – kilometres of asphalt that start and end nowhere, and with them the small villages they used to cross. Places of passage where, apparently, nothing happens anymore. Their inhabitants stay at the roadside, their lives run aground in a present with not much of a future, unconnected to each other, like watertight compartments where each one interacts, in their own way, with the passing time.
Spaces of Time #1 - Vigo
Dir. David Hernández, 15m, Spain, 2013
Images, sounds and music describing from a subjective point of view the city as a coexisted place where we meet relations between people, animals and objects. The documentary doesn't pretend to be a faithful portrait of the city, but to play with the language in a way that lifts it to the next level: the emotional. We invite the audience to dive between the objective and subjective, between the reality and the dream, to discover the underlying essence of city life.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with N-VI Director Pela del Álamo.
