| Summary: | Pont de Varsòvia: "A female professor, a writer, and an orchestra conductor -three characters, two couples- attend a grand literary cocktail party. The writer has just won the prize for his book Warsaw Bridge. The winner answers the journalist's questions one after another, but he is unable to come up with a synthesis of the plot of his book. They will simply have to read it"--IMDb. "in Pont de Varsòvia we have shining images of the new intellectuals and the amnesic, progressive, European political classes. But beneath that sparking surface of spectacular socio-cultural events and the frivolous life in a happy Europe, lies the tension of broken memories and personal and historical cataclysms"--Pere Portabella website. La tempesta: "Naked bodies are buffeted by water accompanied by the music Il Temporale from the opera La Cenerentola and the overture to Il Barbiere di Siviglia both by Gioacchino Rossini. The film is part of a show by Carles Santos: El compositor, la cantante, el cocinero y la pecadora (The composer, the Singer, the Cook and the Sinner)"--Pere Portabella website. No al no: Carles Santos plays several of his pieces on the piano. This film was made for the exhibit on Carles Santos Visca el piano! held at the Miro Foundation in the summer of 2006. El plan hidrologico nacional: "The film is part of the full-length feature called Hay Motivo, made up of 32 shorts directed by Spanish actors and directors protesting against the policies of the Partido Popular just before the 2004 general elections. In Portabella's piece the physics professor, Pedro Arrojo lectures on the pressing need for a new water culture"--Pere Portabella website. |
