FOCO ENDLESS NIGHTS

The night, a place of shadows but also of inspiration, is one of the spotlights, the main theme of Filmadrid 4th edition.

FOCO TONINO DE BERNARDI

Considered as a master by Jonas Mekas and Pedro Costa, Tonino de Bernardi (Chivaso, 1937), is a myth of Italian filmmaking, a unique example of brilliance and independence. His films have been starred by key figures of European cinema, such as Isabelle Huppert, Inês and María de Medeiros, or Lou Castel.

His career starts at the end of the 1960s, in the context of underground cinema, with milestone works such as Il vaso etrusco (1967). The reinterpretation of Greek myths is an essential topic of his filmography, as shown in Elettra (1987), Médée Miracle (2007) –with Isabelle Huppert, who recreates Medea’s role– and Ifigenia in Aulide (2018), his most recent work, whose premiere in Spain will take place in Filmadrid 2018. Female presences remain always in the middle of his works and serve as well as a reflection from the changes of our world and from the unchangeable values.

This will be the first time Tonino de Bernardi’s films will be seen in Spain. The retrospective is carried out in collaboration with Filmoteca Española.

  1. La favolosa storia (1967-68): a collection of the shorts Il vaso etrusco (1967), Il bestiario (1967-68), Il sogno di Constantino (1968), Italy 95’ SPANISH PREMIERE

  6. Dei (1968-69) Italy 150’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  7. Lei (2002) Italy 105’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  8. Appassionate (1999) Italy 95’ SPANISH PREMIERE

FOCO RAQUEL CHALFI

An unusual figure of feminism in the 1980s, Raquel Chalfi (Tel Aviv) remains as one of the most fascinating and unknown figures of Middle Eastern cinema. Famous in Israel for her poetic work, Chalfi started filming in the 1970s, embracing the avant-garde of that time and focusing on the complexities of female identity and the freeing of those chains, often using a forceful dreamlike tone.

This retrospective of Chalfi’s work –totally unknown in Spain– is carried out in collaboration with La Casa Encendida.

  1. Bobo and the Hairstyling Industry (1969) Israel 8’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  2. Fall (1970) Israel 3’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  3. Posibilites or Bluebeard and me (1983) Israel 49’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  4. Her Dream (1987) Israel 18’ SPANISH PREMIERE
  5. The Hidden Fountain – The World of Miriam Chalfi, 1992-2016 (2018) Israel 97’

FOCO KHALIK ALLAH

A photographer before filmmaker, Khalik Allah (New York, 1985) composes sublime images that at the same time reflect an extreme suffering, that of the black American community, forgotten by politicians and harassed by the police.

His approach, in which the poetic rawness of photography is mixed with a hypnotic rhythm and a purely cinematographic sonority, brings us closer to a world between dream and reality.

  1. Antonyms of Beauty (2013) USA 27’
  2. Field Niggas (2014) USA 60’
  3. Black Mother (2018) USA / Jamaica 75’ SPANISH PREMIERE
