Film-makers Carla Sim\u00f3n and Elena L\u00f3pez Riera have spent some time discussing how to define a kind of film that avoids the label of realism. In films like Alcarr\u00e0s and Romer\u00eda, Sim\u00f3n explores family memory from a subjective point of view, in her last film to the point of oneirism. L\u00f3pez Riera, in El agua, exploits landscape and legend as forces affecting collective awareness. As L\u00f3pez Riera argues in her article for Caim\u00e1n, these film-makers set out to explore new ways of seeing that bring into play a \u201csubjective perception as an aesthetic and political tool\u201d. To do this, they take as their guide the maxim of Henry James in his text \u201cThe Art of Fiction\u201d: to let reality be a sinuous pretext through which to formulate imagination. This conversation will be another chance to go on thinking together about these questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
