| LOS CAMINOS DE LA MEMORIA (2009) 91 mins. Dir. José Luis Peñafuerte Language: Spanish Country: Spain Short documentary, Los Caminos De La Memoria is a cinematic journey through the darkest years of Spain's story, though during the most grievous times of the dictatorship silence was maintained throughout the transition, perhaps for the fear of slowing the introduction of the democracy in to the nation. Being a Spanish son of exiles, José Luis Peñafuerte explored his identity across this feature film in relation to the law of historical memory. The was film born through the urgent need to be released from the oblivion of exiles and give justice to those who fought for the freedom of thought. The archive images alternate between actress Marisa Paredes' story and the personal depositions, some of these return to the places that marked their lives. Between intervening voices there is that of former Divided Communist manager Jorge Semprún, the anthropologist who studies the franco's crimes of Francisco Etxeberría and the President of the Recover Emilio Silva's History Association, besides those of the former political prisoners and orphans of war like Marcos Ana. "Los caminos De the memory" was rewarded Best Film at Mérida Festival. |

| WHY DO JAMAICANS RUN SO FAST? (2009) 61mins. Dir. Miquel Galofré Language: English (Spanish subtitles) Country: Spain, Jamaica. Jamaica, August 2008. The island is paralysed, all eyes are focused on the television. Led by the fastest man in the world ever Usain Bolt, jamaican athletes are winning all the races at the Bejing Olympic Games. They are beating limits, their level is beyond logic. No superpower in the world can surpass this small Caribbean nation. This is the story of six gold medals that put Jamaica at the epicenter of the world. Revealing how music and athletics have become an escape route from the poverty and violence in Jamaica, the film allows us in to the reality of flourishing young athletes. Why Do Jamaicans Run So Fast? is a charming documentary that talks about the success of the jamaican sprinters. The hour long film seeks an explanation of the results achieved in the last Olympic Games in China. Simultaneously, showing the Jamaican public reaction before and after victory. The film contains interviews with all of the athletes, their coaches and their followers, accompanied with an original reggae soundtrack. |
