La Mirada - Jewels of Spanish Cinema
Almodovar Presents
Dear Friends,
I want to express my total support for La Mirada, Jewels of the Spanish Cinema which I will endeavour to contribute my grain of sand by annually selecting five jewels of my country's cinema to be seen in Australia.
Initiatives such as these allow us to transcend borders by expanding our knowledge and appreciation of other cultures.
It is important to bring cinema and culture in general to all communities, allowing them to enjoy the experience of watching other realities and different ways of telling stories
I know that I am fortunate in that my films are seen in Australia but there are many extraordinary filmmakers both from previous and current generations who remain to be discovered. I strongly believe that through La Mirada we will open a window for these artists’ work to be viewed. I am very excited to be involved in this project.
A collection of masterpieces that offer pure poetry made of images, brilliantly clever scripts, magic rhythm… see for yourself…
