YOSOYFICAL.ES. November 18, 2024 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The poet Federico García Lorca, the painter Salvador Dalí, and the filmmaker Luis Buñuel formed what has been called «the most fabulous friendly triangle of the 20th century.» Despite belonging to different artistic disciplines, all three made forays into video art even before this form of expression was «invented.» How was this possible? Through an interactive audiovisual workshop lasting three days and 9 hours, the International Film Festival of Almería will analyze this fascinating connection by exploring the «videographic» productions of these renowned creators. Not only will the most recognized works be reviewed, such as Buñuel and Dalí’s “Un perro andaluz” and “La Edad de Oro” or Lorca’s “Viaje a la Luna” but eight lesser-known productions will also be included that reveal the sometimes positive and sometimes negative interaction between these three artists, who have become key figures in 20th-century Spanish culture. Professor and Doctor of Audiovisual Communication, Federico Utrera, will take participants on a journey through time, uncovering the keys that gave rise to these astonishing audiovisual creations, which were contemporary to the birth of sound cinema and helped lay the foundations for video art from Spain.
In this edition, Professor Federico Utrera will present in the interactive audiovisual workshop the life and video art work of authors who still remain on the periphery of this discipline due to their inclusion in obscure areas of audiovisual historiography.
