- 1:00to GPS Audiovisual Radio, with the journalistic production of Norberto chap En, the
- 1:07technical operation Gonzalo Sorais and in the driving who speaks Julia Montesoro. Let'
- 1:15s go to our first interview today. Vanesa González Co stars in invisible stories.
- 1:27Guillermo Navarro' s thriller, who tomorrow enters his second week of exhibition
- 1:33in Salas. Together with her, they make up the Lionor A Wexler and
- 1:38Antonella Ferrari cast, invisible stories that are inspired by real events. She dives
- 1:48into the subject of trafficking, the obstacles of justice and the despair of a
- 1:53mother to find her daughter. We' re with Vanesa González. Welcome,
- 1:59how are you? Okay. Thank you very much, very good forte good.
- 2:05I' m glad what movie you imagined the first time you read the
- 2:13script in that good one is a script that' s priori and very strong
- 2:19in the story that William wanted to tell a mother and a father through this
- 2:29fatal loss of his daughter is kidnapped and when these materials approach, it always
- 2:34gives me like a little bit of fear the idea of how obviously, you
- 2:38stop them with all the respect of the world, because an urgent topic to
- 2:42deal with. I' m a little afraid of falling into an artistic solemnity,
- 2:46because I say standing in that respect there' s always something where one
- 2:52forgets, which is a verse. Unfortunately it exists, and that universe is
- 2:58full of Bin and people who are trying to survive in there and thus building
- 3:05relationships beyond horror. So, well, I received that as very carefully and
- 3:15talking a little bit with Guillermo to see little of what he thought based on
- 3:20the movie. I knew that we were going to go down to Mendoza,
- 3:25to sign the story and that the occasions were going to be quite complex places,
- 3:31where it is a subject that is also very alive. In fact,
- 3:35I remember when we were returning to Buenos Aires. We' ve spent tectites,
- 3:38transported, years centers. So good to go to the heart of a
- 3:45space of the pits that are happening seemed smaller to me and that is called
- 3:51invisible stories, seems very powerful to me. Not because they are and says
- 3:59the name p par seems one of the strongest things of the because we really
- 4:05have from the art of opportunity to be able to make these cases possible,
- 4:12something that I thank also in the theater. The same thing you can get
- 4:20closer to the microphone, because I' m listening to you cut. Thank
- 4:25you better there. Yeah, you were telling me then that these kinds of
- 4:32stories are your turn to play. Yeah, I feel like art is a
- 4:38little bit of a channel to talk about these issues. From another place,
- 4:44I think, unfortunately, it has been naturalized to receive news of this order,
- 4:47because we are very used to seeing arms where it already appears as a
- 4:54common thing, not taking in the morning and you see a job every day.
- 4:56I feel like you' re treating us to Dr We' re in
- 5:01no position to solve this. I also don' t think art will find
- 5:04it, but at least put things on the mint to keep talking about posistori
- 5:09yes, to make it visible, you don' t look for any specific
- 5:14bias. By choosing a role, you have the possibility of being selective.
- 5:20The possibility of being selective I gave it to myself over the years, not
- 5:25because I feel like I have a comfortable position or at least always. But
- 5:31it is something that I allow myself because I have already done things that I
- 5:35have not been entirely happy and then it is price that paid, because I
- 5:41had a good time doing it, because the greetings I knew then, in
- 5:49general, there is something that matters to me, that it is I can
- 5:55talk about something that I am interested in talking about today or where I have
- 5:56my attention. It' s already a point in favor and then with the
- 6:00people I' m going to share that fundamental work. A little look at
- 6:04the material that teacher or a director and colleagues and what was the main challenge
- 6:14when addressing situations are opposed to your daily life. You. I think that
- 6:25at some point, for example, the case of invisible stories by the character
- 6:30Ramina who touches me, something I was busy with, which was to find
- 6:35within that hell a virtue, in that daily life, to find him a
- 6:43certain virtue, not a little what I was saying before. All worlds have
- 6:46ties and suddenly you see that the hijacked chips ending up arming a Christmas tree
- 6:51with the hijacker, I say, hideous bonds form, like a cooked braid,
- 7:00contradictions, but that' s what' s going on. Then it
- 7:02was like leaning on me that I had built a certain daily life, relationships
- 7:11where there is inertia, where there is a hunger for boredom. Horror happens
- 7:14all that our privileged life. But in that hell there also end up being
- 7:20daily. I think the biggest challenge was to be able to find that,
- 7:25this space thing. She' s got to be all the time as a
- 7:28trisco, being on the horror scene, seeing how these girls find a certain
- 7:34motivation. In there, well, I was just going to ask you not
- 7:40how you find common features with your Rommi character in your voice, like you
- 7:46mentioned it just that she protects and preserves the teenager who falls into the trafficking
- 7:54networks. I think if there' s any common ground, it has something
- 8:01to do with maybe the same. It' s an impression I have of
- 8:05myself being able to cope. Someone listens to me outside and says no good.
- 8:07I think I think I have a certain ability to adapt. In general,
- 8:11I adapt to the spaces I am Sometimes that' s good And sometimes
- 8:16it' s good, but it' s like it happens. And yeah,
- 8:20maybe there' s something about being attentive to what happens to each other
- 8:26and those two ways. Yes, and from there also to be built then
- 8:33this character RUNNY I do believe that I lent it as that there is something
- 8:39of that that turned out to me that it was not so conscious, but
- 8:45that what was at hand to work and then, obviously, that the context
- 8:52time lead before to a location that collaborates so much for the topics that are
- 8:56telling something that starts to happen clearly co- edited, of course the likelihood.
- 9:03Don' t look for verisimilitude in what is being created now, When
- 9:09you approach a subject as sensitive as trafficking and abuse, you prefer to abstract
- 9:16from the real world to compose the role or you let yourself be carried away
- 9:24by your sensitivity look in general, it' s like I can' t
- 9:30put the performance as in a mysterious place, like I feel that as much
- 9:37as one is doing a dramatic, violent or funny scene. We' re
- 9:48always having the pleasure of playing I say we' re always intervened because our
- 9:54job is to believe in what we' re doing. Then it always has
- 9:58as a joy that you are inexplicable what a drama is like. But that
- 10:03' s not related to turning to a point, the healthy or an ironed
- 10:07fear. When it happens to me at all, it starts, starts and
- 10:13that to see in this and finish, I was never taken by a situation.
- 10:18I don' t think that' s very, that' s true,
- 10:22that' s why it' s my opinion. When it' s
- 10:24over, I was right and I was going to eat and it' s
- 10:28over and we talked about it, you know you have emotions very handy,
- 10:33because we work with instruments according to mind care, but there' s something
- 10:41where we' re formed to understand that that' s also part of our
- 10:43work. And after you generate a trade that you go in and out constantly
- 10:48and it' s part of a game that doesn' t take away from
- 10:50you. No, it takes, no, no, no, no,
- 10:54exactly, yes, but no. No. It' s nothing that'
- 10:58s related to him mystic. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 11:03working inside that group where it' s built. That one was just
- 11:09saying that good the movie, the shooting took place in Mendoza and was traversed
- 11:16by the pandemic. In addition, how was the experience of filming there and
- 11:22in those circumstances that today seem as far away. But, well, it
- 11:28' s not that many anymore. He had his. No, yeah,
- 11:33well, first it was a flash because we didn' t know we were
- 11:37going to be able to travel or not. And when we got down,
- 11:39I think it was the second trip I made after the situation started to catch
- 11:46a plane. The first one had also done it so that it is to
- 11:50be a movie jumps and is that it touched us Mendoza and also with Barbijo,
- 11:56with everyone crossed that it was from the running of the bull, that
- 12:03it was one of the most exposed to travel in adie and then it was
- 12:07that we were just getting there and all week we had to test, because
- 12:11such a big team was difficult. We were constantly making out with beards,
- 12:15we just took it out to film. We were back and down again with
- 12:18that change of climate where suddenly there were people with griefe and we had been
- 12:22covid no. But the truth is that the work also gave us a bit
- 12:28of a scare situation, because at the moment we were all sucking a lot
- 12:33the positions of the covid were like a mystery. Today I feel that everything
- 12:37that is happening now is almost as fatal as for the video of how serious
- 12:39the covid was but there is a point where, if we come two have
- 12:46paliated. Yeah, yeah, total. But well, it' s all
- 12:54over. We haven' t had almost any children, very few. The
- 12:58team will be infected. We' ve had enough, enough. We talked
- 13:03a moment ago about when you first read the script and there you also looked
- 13:09at conversations with Guillermo Navarro, with the director how the method of working with
- 13:16him was, that there was a previous process to reach the character he was
- 13:24looking for in your house to Romi and because he also lives in Hawaii.
- 13:28Then we had had as meetings also by Zoom Not to tell us a little
- 13:33bit the whole idea and then we had as textures also for long as Ferrari
- 13:41as you find us so by video called and he many years ago that you
- 13:48had history really wanting to put it in the cinema and since he has a
- 13:56very personal bond to talk about this topic, he had like they are the
- 14:01film, very in the head and the place now talking about this role he
- 14:07also played but since he had very clear where the parallel story line was going
- 14:13that the story ends and with his daughter and a little bit talk about the
- 14:18trafficking when it is not recent, not because a character of anto is just
- 14:24kidnapped, but there are the women who are there a while ago and where
- 14:28there is a life built there, if there is like a kind of resignation,
- 14:33like that all that dreams life, all that was put in a place
- 14:37thinking well, I go out, I get out and if I get out,
- 14:41well, what I put together here, that I could put together,
- 14:43here for first not to die. Yeah, it' s a level of
- 14:50I don' t know if to call resignation the word, but I don
- 14:52' t know. There' s also like a resilience in this character who
- 15:00accepts what' s up to him and went in charge of the batteries,
- 15:03retruxteresan. I don' t know. It was very clear to me when
- 15:07Guillermo talked about the character and I immediately felt like making Romin feel like something
- 15:13happened to me. With I think from the book it seemed to me that
- 15:22the child was very clear, because I knew how it was how it ended.
- 15:26It' s not easy. It' s always the movies. Out
- 15:28there with characters who aren' t the ones who use the line of action.
- 15:31Yeah, and all of a sudden I think it was well written.
- 15:33I don' t know. Yeah, that' s right. They have
- 15:39a dramatic progression. No. On the other hand, almost key. Any
- 15:43story, no, but in this way it doesn' t always happen exactly.
- 15:48There are times when if you' re not people who take the line
- 15:52of action, there are things you have to build for yourself, but they
- 15:54' re not spreading. That was no longer the case. I was good,
- 15:58okay. I close the cha in the almost the same way we open
- 16:02it. What a movie gave you back the big screen and the audience,
- 16:07what caught your attention. And I think I was very surprised. So the
- 16:17film is strong, it' s not too loaded. I' ve seen
- 16:22the movie. That' s why I insist on names or my sensitive story,
- 16:29it' s no less a fact, but yes. What happened to
- 16:33me is that for the moment I felt a lot, so people laughed at
- 16:40some gossip, that there was inside the place and I said how lucky it
- 16:45could happen. This, not because people necessarily have to laugh in a movie
- 16:48and feel more relief in a movie that you are horrifying. But there'
- 16:55s something I insist on again with the subject of cotianity, and knowing that
- 17:00there' s a universe in there, even a universe in there, and
- 17:06being able to see in some characters that have suddenly been able to have my
- 17:11pro moment of happiness in there, and that' s in the context of
- 17:15a movie. I found it valuable to people who laughed at answers between the
- 17:22clues, or I don' t know things that end up being important to
- 17:26her, like clothes, as I thought that surprised me, that happened at
- 17:32least you didn' t expect it. Not clear, it is also immersed
- 17:37in the work and creation of the character and history. I guess you didn
- 17:45' t expect that either. You' re looking brighter if you want a
- 17:51character or a story as terrible as the one that tells invisible stories. Not
- 17:59good with that González is the co- star of invisible stories. This Guillermo
- 18:04Navarro thriller, with production of Rio Films, that we recommend to see is
- 18:11in theaters and that' s where you have to see it. And let
- 18:15' s remember then that he' s in halls all over the country,
- 18:19that he enters his second week of exhibition and that, well, you have
- 18:23to see it. Thank you, Vanessa, for joining us. Well,
- 18:27thanks a lot to you and a big hug, a hug hello Silvio the
- 18:38Paul even with Vos. He didn' t call you anything, not because
- 18:44he went to the doctor tomorrow and didn' t call me. He didn
- 18:45' t come back. I don' t know anything. And weird,
- 18:48your brother, where you are, how I know you called the police.
- 18:56Yeah, I went to Diaz. I denounce it, but I don'
- 18:57t take it. They told me I' m sure. What has been
- 19:00helped with the groom. That' s it, son He' s still
- 19:06wearing his clothes to school and the police. What he did with all this,
- 19:18for life neither. Those are the invisible law with Leonora Wexler, Vanesa
- 19:38González and Antonella Ferrari, a film by Guillermo Navarro with production of Rio Films,
- 19:45premiere only in Salas Craft. It can' t be if you know
- 20:06about the girl that came to yesterday, Maite Sorry she' s looking for
- 20:14Daniel the lifeguard, she' s drowning someone. Yeah, I' m
- 20:18all the same. The same thing happens to us all, very, very,
- 20:23very, not to say that something is going to change my life.
- 20:44A wreck a marine movie is a wreck. Premiere in Salas 27 June.
- 20:59Alejandro Díaz Castaño has been in charge of the Gijón International Film Festival for eight
- 21:04years, whose 60th edition is to be held from 15 to 23 November and
- 21:12which has opened the call to present long short films with special emphasis on independent
- 21:19cinema and emerging filmmakers. We' re with Alejandro Díaz Castaño, Director of
- 21:29the Gijón Festival. Alejandro how you are a great pleasure to receive you here
- 21:36on GPS audio- visual Radio, since nothing. Thank you very much for
- 21:41the invitation to the interview and this meeting and for making you dry of our
- 21:48festival, which, in fact, has just opened the call for the sixty
- 21:52- two edition that already a few and that will be held on the 23rd
- 21:56of November of this same year. How the programming of the Highon Festival varied
- 22:00from your incorporation and that axis eight years ago, perhaps in the festival and
- 22:07that people really are going to be already the eighth edition and well, the
- 22:15programming yes, that has been varying, has gone through various phases. It
- 22:22is also true that we had the moment of the pandemic. We had to
- 22:25do an entirely online edition because of the restrictions that existed at the time that
- 22:30they did not allow out in the halls. But, on the one hand,
- 22:36online programming has been considerably strengthened. That' s something that' s
- 22:38been maintained. Although, it is true that right now it is more,
- 22:42it is more composed of recent film cycles, but not of premieres that we
- 22:48are saving them more so that people will go to the theaters to see it.
- 22:52I think it is important that we do everything we can to ensure that
- 22:56the cinema continues to enjoy itself in the halls. I think the festivals there
- 23:00have a great responsibility. And then, well, basically, the biggest change
- 23:07there' s ever been was that the official section now has two competitions.
- 23:11One called albar that' s for that movie theater. Let' s say
- 23:18what noble wood means in Asturian and it is a bit the cinema that best
- 23:23exemplifies our logical programming line. Cinema doctor, has ideas, has staff and
- 23:29a type of cinema that has a calligraphy, expresses ideas, expresses feelings and
- 23:36expresses reflections that help reflection. I think it' s something important to us.
- 23:44And then we have a second competition. It' s called retuellos,
- 23:48which is an asturian word also for green shoots. And there we have first,
- 23:55second and third films, first seconds and long third ones in charge of
- 24:00saying these that are called to be a little the great filmmakers of tomorrow,
- 24:06which is a line of work. The Festival of Jón has always maintained for
- 24:08many years, for here they happened when they were hardly known filmmakers such as
- 24:14I don' t know how to give gift Knovsky or Clerteny or Keley Richard
- 24:21or people like because I don' t know how Nicolas Windin himself says to
- 24:25quote some not yet, because it wasn' t let' s say consecrated
- 24:29filmmakers as they are. Well Gijón stands out, among other aspects, for
- 24:34valorizing independent cinema, as you were referring only to women- led cinema,
- 24:41asturian cinema and Ibero- American cinema. Those searches respond to your cinephilic interest
- 24:49or were appearing on the good path. On the one hand, I believe
- 24:57that the fact of programming more cinema ever made by women, to begin with,
- 25:03I think it was something that corresponds to the times. It' s
- 25:07not about giving anyone the selection at the festival, but it' s about
- 25:11trying somehow to make the selection as balanced as possible. And it has not
- 25:18been too difficult, considering that in recent years, there is an increasingly interesting
- 25:22film directed by women who sometimes have more films directed by women that were always
- 25:26more difficult for them to gain access to management. A few years ago and
- 25:33we just echoed this And we have seen also, because finally, as directors
- 25:37they could win festivals, great festivals like the Khan Festival, like the Berlin
- 25:41Festival, like the Venice Festival recently, something that was not usual at all.
- 25:47And obviously, because we can only echo this particularly interesting movement in Spain,
- 25:55with many young directors who have passed through Gijón' s fetus. As
- 26:00Carlas Simón may be, it cannot be Celia Rico Elena Martín for quoting him.
- 26:10Some don' t cla rocket or, as Elena lost him for quoting
- 26:15a few. I believe that there is a quarry of great filmmakers that,
- 26:21moreover, collaborated among them who are usually friends and exchange ideas as well and
- 26:29I think it is something very interesting to reflect. Then, on the other
- 26:33hand, the Asturian cinema. Yes, which has been very important, because
- 26:37before we started in the direction of the festival, no one remembered the last
- 26:44Asturian film that had competed in official section. And this has changed a lot
- 26:48and almost every year we have some Asturian film competing in the main sections of
- 26:55the festival, not just a regional section. I think this is very important
- 26:57and it has also helped people to take more and more seriously. The people
- 27:02we have here in Asturias, their projects work harder, also because doing it
- 27:11that more effort to work them more can get that prize to be in an
- 27:18international competition in Gijón. No. I believe that this is something that we
- 27:22have also tried to promote with other initiatives, such as the FIX Academy,
- 27:29which is an initiative that we have had in training and which we are continuing
- 27:33now with SEMILLERU, which is another of ours, another of the legs of
- 27:38the festival, which is for work in development and also for training. We
- 27:45have already tried as much as possible to collaborate with Asturian cinema, try to
- 27:49promote it and then, finally, Ibero- American cinema. There we also
- 27:56start from a reality and it is that we have as head of programming Frank
- 28:00since the year two thousand Great Gallo, because he was programmer of the Festival
- 28:06of Buffis and Buenos Aires for years and it is settled in Buenos Aires and
- 28:11I believe that his knowledge of Argentine cinema and Ibero- American cinema in general,
- 28:18makes it interesting to have that third competition, that is Earth, is
- 28:22in trance, that is dedicated to Latin American cinema. And this I always
- 28:27put on a simile, which is the simile of football. If you have
- 28:30a striker, who goes very well from the top, because you have to
- 28:34put long balls on him, you have to put to the head, because
- 28:40if you have a head of programming that has a huge mastery of Ibero-
- 28:45American cinema, because you have to take advantage and program a section of Brazilian
- 28:49cinema that, moreover, has given us great joys in recent years, particularly
- 28:53with Argentine cinema. Well, just three independent female and Ibero- American editorials
- 29:02respond to the profile of Maria Aparicio, who was the award for the best
- 29:07director in the land section of the last edition of gig Hon. For the
- 29:11indefinite things, how you define the interaction with Argentine cinema. The truth is,
- 29:18it' s being very natural. I mean, there has always been
- 29:23a league and in this I think that of fran Gallo I have always had
- 29:29a lot of responsibility between the festival and certain Argentine filmmakers here in Gijón,
- 29:36because quite a few years ago we had in official section, because Alisandro Alonso,
- 29:42besides that he won the festival already with Liverpool in his day, people
- 29:48like Pablo Agüero to directors like Ezequiel Acuña, already several years ago for certain
- 29:56only some not and then that it will take vamento, because we have had
- 30:04from names like Mariano Ginas or the own Lisandro, that usually comes almost a
- 30:10year, yes, a new year to the festival. It is so,
- 30:11every two years it usually appears together with new talents, as in the case
- 30:18of Maria or, for example, Juan Pablo Bassovi and Sofia Jalinski, who
- 30:23have also made palestra that it was a film that earned them here to have
- 30:32a series of fans and who then came also with their next work, that
- 30:38I do not remember the title is gone, but good with his next film.
- 30:42When they arrived in Gihon, who had not been able to present palestra
- 30:47because it was the time of the pandemic, they were hailed as they entered
- 30:52the room. I only lived, I saw it being held by people,
- 30:56the audience, because they were very fans of that movie. I think it
- 31:03' s a very special relationship. I think that also Argentine filmmakers are at
- 31:07ease in hip Hon with the audience of Gijón and with a little also the
- 31:11dimension of the festival that we have. No, but I think we'
- 31:14re a festival that we have top- notch visitors, but that we have
- 31:19a size, a little smaller size of other festivals of our own let'
- 31:27s say projection. I mean the size, the number of movies to the
- 31:32number of movies we program, that we try to keep it always in a
- 31:37size that allows us to breathe programming and that all movies have their moment with
- 31:41the press, It' s a time with the audience and its visibility,
- 31:45because we do believe that accumulating movies in a lot of sections and accumulating premieres
- 31:52is not always positive. Sometimes it' s better to keep it. Let
- 31:55' s say well, we really believe sometimes we don' t always want
- 31:59it to be better to keep the size of the sections in something more manageable,
- 32:04because so the films also have more chances to access prizes, on the
- 32:07one hand and on the other, because they have more chances of having their
- 32:12moment with the press. I think it is important that the press should not
- 32:15be suffocated by an excess of films in competitions. Well, until they have
- 32:23to have a movie to be hosted by the Gijón Festival. It' s
- 32:31a good question and very difficult. That' s a very good question.
- 32:34It' s very difficult. Yeah, let' s see, really see.
- 32:38If we always say because I have something, it' s not something.
- 32:42That' s the most important thing that has anything to do with it.
- 32:44On the one hand, we mix all kinds of movies and competitions.
- 32:49We don' t have fiction movies, non- fiction movies, animation movies.
- 32:54It' s worth everything to us as long as we say they have
- 33:02something, that differentiates them, that the differences of the rest and, above
- 33:06all, of those formulas that there are that are not only formulas of commercial
- 33:12cinema, but also the cinema of so in certain formulas, something that is
- 33:19being talked about a lot also because of all the labs and all these labs
- 33:22that there are for movies that say that they all do look a lot like
- 33:25each other and yes, that it' s true that there is a kind
- 33:30of festival film that sometimes look too much like each other. We are looking
- 33:31for the pelicans who break a little bit with this, who, although they
- 33:37have elements in common, with another cinema that has been seen in Gijón,
- 33:38who give it a twist of nut, who challenge us, who surprise us
- 33:44and who is a risky hundred and who is also a cinema that, although
- 33:49it has a greater or lesser budget, puts ideas and reflections on the table,
- 33:53which is reflective and, above all, also transmits to us humanistic values.
- 33:59That this has been, that Caez interests us more in the face of
- 34:01the cinema of cruelty, a kind of quinic cinema that was more common to
- 34:07see sometimes in festivals years ago and that is something that increasingly attracts us less.
- 34:10I think that we are at a time when that cinema will say,
- 34:15for example, the cinema of Mijel Han, for example, an important filmmaker
- 34:19for me, very important, especially in the 1990s. I think it'
- 34:24s a kind of cinema right now we' re less interested in, because
- 34:30it' s a cinema than it does to build, build and analyze in
- 34:36a very cold way and provoke. Let' s say showing precisely the lack
- 34:43or underlining the lack of dehumanization of today' s society. We, right
- 34:46now, are more about a cinema than we are about reconstruction, moral reconstruction,
- 34:52the destruction of values, human values, ethics, basic values, which
- 34:55I think we are seeing all the more at a time when they are threatened.
- 35:04It' s all important. We believe that it is very important to
- 35:08defend them, even if it sometimes sounds a little atopic, but I think
- 35:14it is something that is more important than ever to make clear that there is
- 35:19a series of red lines, as it is said now, not that we
- 35:24can pass it and, above all, to program films that take care of
- 35:30the characters and that, if you have to be critical of them, they
- 35:34are, but not in a cynical way or not in a way we say,
- 35:45in which they torture them yes very clearly values that seem in disuse more
- 35:50and more in this world that we have to live now. Well, it
- 35:51should not be foreign to you the severe administrative adjustment that exists in Argentina with
- 35:57the National Institute of Film and Audiovisual Arts. How this can impact or impact
- 36:04the presentation, on the inclusion of Argentine cinema in the Gijón Festival. Well,
- 36:15I think in this issue, at least for now, you' re
- 36:17not going to notice too much. I' m saying that because we already
- 36:22have some Argentine film confirmed and very interesting works are coming to us. But
- 36:28I think I could probably have it in the next and the next, if
- 36:32not reversed in the situation. And it' s a shame because I think
- 36:38I' ve always sincerely had a certain envy of Argentine cinema, especially a
- 36:46few years ago in which the cinema let' s say independent, let'
- 36:52s say more risky author. In Spain it was made up of a small
- 36:58group of directors and directors who were like snipers. And now it' s
- 37:06grown more. But at that time I saw a cinema that was made in
- 37:07Argentina that seemed incredible to me. I don' t know. We watched
- 37:10films like those mentioned by Lisandro Alonso, films like The Blondes of Albertina carri
- 37:15by sky, also the swamp of what Martel did, to quote another.
- 37:20I don' t know what to say. It was a cinema that seemed
- 37:22incredible to me, the scope it had and the ability to generate fictions with
- 37:28very little budget and with incredible interpretations that we go, that it was a
- 37:36cinema for me of great value and almost all the films that we saw,
- 37:42because they had financing of the linca that it was not something that was also
- 37:45habitual to see in Spain, because it is true that it is cinema more
- 37:49independent sometimes Spanish, because it did not have the ministerial funding, which in
- 37:53recent years with the modifications made from the direction of Batriz Navas in the Icanes
- 38:02Spain and continued now also by Ignas and we fall, because I believe that
- 38:07a job is being done that is being done because you see many more independent
- 38:12and risky films with the seal of the Ministerial. With this I want to
- 38:15say that I think it is a pity, because with an investment that I
- 38:22don' t think was very big, they were being able to finance many
- 38:25pelicans in Argentina that in the end, although perhaps later they are not the
- 38:31big blockbusters of Hollywood cinema, but they do help the visibility of Argentina outside
- 38:36the borders. Dan a good serve to have a prestige, an international prestige
- 38:43that Argentine cinema has and that I am very concerned that it can be lost
- 38:45in addition to all the young talents that Argentine cinema has. I don'
- 38:51t know from people like Santiago Mitre, who are already fully consecrated, who
- 38:55also went through the festival of Giphón years ago with the student, many years
- 39:00ago also to the festival. I forgot to quote you We have people doing
- 39:05that kind of movie that' s already in Hollywood It' s already been,
- 39:15let' s say, recognized And then all those young people who follow
- 39:20in the wake and hope that we' ll see their career cut short.
- 39:22We expect the same thing. Yes, well, Alejandro Díaz Castaño, director
- 39:27of the Gihon International Film Festival. Thank you so much for being here on
- 39:34GPS audio- visual radio from your city, Gijón, and well we will
- 39:42follow very carefully everything that happens with the festival. A taste, then,
- 39:45a taste. Thank you very much and nothing our best wishes to all of
- 39:51you in Argentina. Thank you very much, Pablito. I' m look
- 40:00you remember me it occurred to me as a giant idea, which is to
- 40:06gather the band watch Anda. Please, I think you should apologize for that
- 40:09authority. There what you' re talking about, really, and after you
- 40:14passed you saw what they look like here, but you heard what those girls
- 40:17said to a Chinese guy who said rat if your husband. What he wants
- 40:21a thirteen- year- old chick, while they' re stalking, to
- 40:23take pictures so that he has proof, so he can stay calm. Why
- 40:27I stopped singing. I don' t know things about life. I know
- 40:40how to do it. I think you' re Miranda from Friday to Monday,
- 40:50a film by Maria Victoria Mennis, starring Inés Esteves. Estreno escl Luciana
- 41:06grasso Co starring Miranda from Friday to Monday the film by María Victoria Menis that
- 41:14tomorrow premieres in Salas. The story is located in two thousand sixteen, when
- 41:21a sudden and sudden change is triggered in Miranda' s life, the character
- 41:29played by Inés Esteves, a professor of literature who, faced with the denunciation
- 41:35of situations of harassment and abuse of female students, decides to react. His
- 41:40stranger goes through his working, loving, and family life. In this family
- 41:47is Sophia, her eldest daughter, embodied by Luciana Grasso. We' re
- 41:53with her on Radio Audiovisual GPS Hello. Luciana a very big kiss and welcome
- 42:00to our hello program. Thank you very much. I wanted to be there
- 42:04in the studio, but well, I couldn' t get there today,
- 42:07but I' m here online. For me a pleasure to represent this film
- 42:13and thank you also who invited us to give you all the support for these
- 42:17nine morning that premieres exactly good that it was from your life in two thousand
- 42:23sixteen, what did you want to do towards where you lined up two thousand
- 42:30sixteen? Two thousand sixteen, I was already in the one two thousand sixteen,
- 42:39yes, I have thirty hours, that is, that in two thousand
- 42:43sixteen I was twenty- two and I was already at the National University of
- 42:52the Arts. Yeah, well, I had gone out high school with a
- 42:55clear idea of following my artistic career that I had started and devoting myself to
- 43:01that. And, well, always public college. For me it was hugged,
- 43:07a lot, I held back and it was also a lot of partner
- 43:14bra where I met a lot of people. So, well, yeah,
- 43:19in the sense of what he also talks about the movie, there was one
- 43:25I was also part of a place where a lot of things were warmed up
- 43:30in that year and in every year always. The student movement is very important
- 43:36and that is where many things come from and with all the security of things
- 43:42that we want to see grow from the things that one bet and also in
- 43:49defense of art, also in my case, in the National University of the
- 43:52Arts a particular space and is where the rejunct of people and that broth of
- 44:01cultivation of companions became very present also in my life. Of course and at
- 44:07that moment what feminism meant to you. Well, at that moment, for
- 44:15me to see I tell you from now on capable, from another persecution and
- 44:21also taking the years after the experience lived and suddenly, a bigger person at
- 44:27that moment was smaller, I was just coming out everything, I was newly
- 44:31able to start or get visible, not to start, but more visible.
- 44:37No yes, and I believe that at that time I was able to make
- 44:44the novelty of it possible to do, that is, of the value of
- 44:49women, of the value of things we do, of the value of the
- 44:55Union' s work, also to value things that were not valid before perhaps
- 45:00or to ask questions. I also lived a lot in that beginning, moments
- 45:06with my colleagues, with friends where there were also many questions, starting or
- 45:10in the environment, like rethinking things that happened or not, like rethinking a
- 45:20movement that affects us all and that is of all also that it is a
- 45:24change of consciousness. At that time, well, I don' t know
- 45:30what it will mean, especially for me, because it' s been eight
- 45:35years and because now I' m someone else and I can answer it from
- 45:37the person I am now. But yes, an accompaniment in a discovery that
- 45:45at twenty years of my life was also a discovery of everything among everything.
- 45:49Sure, sure, sure, well, I was just going there, I
- 45:54was pointing a little bit at the beginning of this conversation. Not because the
- 45:59film is located at two thousand sixteen and because those questions that are also asked
- 46:07by these young women at that time are also present in Miranda' s plot
- 46:14from Friday to Monday. No. Also, well, I guess and you
- 46:20are telling me in a certain way, that the film passes through those common
- 46:25spaces to your life, as is good, the passage from adolescence to youth,
- 46:36the questions around sexuality, identity, feminism. Yeah, yeah, I
- 46:45think there' s something nice about the movie and that its power was really,
- 46:52really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:00really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:05really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:09really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:13really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:13really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
- 47:13really, really. And a little is also good in the face of
- 47:16a fact that happened, a real fact and to get out of it not,
- 47:22but a very kind look, to let see so much the actresses,
- 47:28both to the original history, with several years later, both to women that
- 47:34in itself beyond being actresses or singers, or what I know are women who
- 47:37went through a life, who transitioned also those same years. So it'
- 47:40s like all that decants maybe alone and in the direction of the director,
- 47:46to want to see and show that not also yes now in what the character
- 47:55of sofi your character in Miranda of life from Friday to Monday how much voice
- 48:02you found in this sophi that proposed to you, Maria Victoria Menís. Well,
- 48:12there' s something curious that happened in the shooting, which is that
- 48:16with Inés Esteves we had two projects together in very little recording time, we
- 48:24finished one and we went together to Rosario to sign a film that this year
- 48:29is also going to premiere, which is called Vera and the pleasure of us,
- 48:32a film by Romina, Tamburello and Federico Actis also with a female look,
- 48:38because she is a director. There' s a director like that,
- 48:42undoubtedly, there' s a look found between the director and a director.
- 48:45And also because the protagonist is a woman who was the protagonist there. Yes,
- 48:50then we joined in two projects as a mother and daughter, because the
- 48:54other one was my yes such a father and good aside what you' re
- 49:00asking me about the soft character in particular, but the truth was that it
- 49:07was a bit curious that two directors, the management teams have seen us as
- 49:12from the same family. We were also something comfortable to work with that and
- 49:16we incorporated it and to me in that flow of what happened to us at
- 49:24work level, it was very good to also have inés of companion in order
- 49:30to develop these sofis more sensitive. Let' s say, it' s
- 49:32a character that, as you well say in the older sister, but it
- 49:37would seem that she' s the younger one or she has things that make
- 49:44her look more childish, feel more anineed and, apparently, also more impossible
- 49:49to develop things alone. Not then, I really liked to play it and
- 49:54get into that skin of what has a shoot now also that sometimes they are
- 50:00fast, that sometimes there is not so much time to say good to see,
- 50:04research, no, but yes the character saw a freshness and a sensitivity,
- 50:10a sensitivity so exposed that I liked very much. It was very,
- 50:16very cute, very funny, also for me, well not only with inés,
- 50:21with Laura Nine and also I am a friend. So we made a
- 50:24real family at the Diego de Paula shoot. Since it was very nice,
- 50:30also to travel that family in a very natural way, also sad. So,
- 50:36from that place it was to jump into the pool in a nice way,
- 50:39to say, well to see this couch is fresh, it' s
- 50:44sincere, it' s very sensitive. He has dreams, he has things
- 50:49of his own, and he has something very familiar, that is to say,
- 50:52he also sees in the film what these sisters are, what they are,
- 50:59mother- daughter relationship, not like banging that one' s cute.
- 51:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, when it comes to defining
- 51:06the characteristics of Sophi, of your character, how was the work with Maria
- 51:14Victoria Menís, the director and author of the script not that I refresh you
- 51:22with defining it as clear that well, as Soffi is going to have these
- 51:28characteristics, or I would like it to have these characteristics, whether Maria Victoria
- 51:34put it this way or it was given in the script. In that sense,
- 51:37I mean not how to work. Yes you understand the elaboration if you
- 51:44want the character, yes I always understand. It looks like a hybrid there.
- 51:49I don' t know if it' s always, but I'
- 51:52m saying there' s something in the script, so you get a dialogue,
- 52:00a way of talking, if it tells you something about what it communicates,
- 52:05or it' s a character from what it pulls out. There'
- 52:07s already something to keep in mind. And then, with Maria Victoria there
- 52:13was a job of good, not cataloguing or specifying in the most restrictive sense
- 52:17of the word or saying I want her to have this and I don'
- 52:24t know, I don' t know from a place as more limiting in
- 52:31creation, but it was good. In fact, there is not a word
- 52:38or a dialogue of what happens to Sofi, but that is also established by
- 52:45the viewer. I don' t know how important the mother- daughter relationship
- 52:49is, what that also brings to Miranda. Not then it was like very
- 52:55much in that sense, more relaxed as good. I, if you sofias
- 53:00like this, like this, and oh, I love this. There were
- 53:04essays, there was text reading, so in the essays we were polishing the
- 53:10performance and, as things were said, the relationship. I think that was,
- 53:17as it were, global, not that there was something good, so
- 53:22if it wasn' t more like being accompanied in a more global way,
- 53:27I don' t know it comes out of that word. It' s
- 53:28good. It is also a character yours that good has, has a very
- 53:34particular sensitivity, special features in some sense, but that I imagine it would
- 53:43also have been a risk to screw off, not with the characteristics of Soffi
- 53:51and I say and that in the film he, fortunately, is not.
- 53:53It doesn' t happen. Well, I' m very happy, because
- 53:59yes and also on a personal level, it' s always a fear that
- 54:06you have as if you don' t go red. Sometimes too, or
- 54:07you have to act bad and like that, but to make no difference you
- 54:13saw the baddest of the bad ones. Or you have to rely a lot
- 54:15on the text and the material you have there too, because it' s
- 54:19like sometimes about how highlighting things makes you actually not let yourself see what they
- 54:27wrote for those characters, but rather draw more attention to other things. And
- 54:30then there' s already like a war I don' t know that looks
- 54:36more than anything else. Then I think that' s between the way the
- 54:40film is narrated. Well, the light everything is not part of that language
- 54:45that they want to find with the film and this material that is so then,
- 54:51so also everything else was taken care of and good at the level also
- 54:55of everyone, taking care of their profession, their things, also try not
- 55:00to pass, try to do it is a job that you have to be
- 55:07aware of that also yes, well Miranda from Friday to Monday was exhibited for
- 55:13the first time in the framework of the festival the woman and the cinema on
- 55:16screen Grande. I don' t mean what you found out there, what
- 55:22a movie you saw there on Grandy screen with an audience. I couldn'
- 55:25t be at that festival, unfortunately, because I was in Barcelona with a
- 55:30tour, with a play and I couldn' t be there, so I
- 55:36missed all the movies. I missed being there with my partners. It was
- 55:40my mom. Luckily, there was someone in the family who was but I
- 55:45missed it Uh- huh Well, you' re starting tomorrow. Yeah,
- 55:51yeah, I was, yeah, it was a really nice premier. Yeah,
- 55:53really good. We were talking about it the week before. Mary was
- 55:59here victoriously, if we were talking about it, about the reactions of the
- 56:02public, which were really very good and which, well, we hope that
- 56:08now, starting tomorrow, that Miranda, from Friday to Monday, will be
- 56:13in halls throughout the country, the same and much more will happen. Luciana
- 56:16Grasso, too. I really appreciate this audio- visual GPS contact. We
