In 2023, SEMINCI, Valladolid International Film Week, created “Memory and Utopy”, a section conceived to reflect on the History of Cinema, a space to rediscover important works that, for various circumstances, remain outside the canon. Presented in recently restored copies, they should help reivindicating the importance of the filmic legacy and those institutions that preserve it.
“Memory and Utopy”, made in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes, includes films that break with prejudices and show the nonconformity and the visionary quality of the cinematographic image. They also represent dreamlike and ghostly catalysts able to suggest and captivate audiences. By including the work of two pioneers, like the Spaniard Ana Mariscal and the Mexican Maite Landeta, this section questions the patriarchal perspective from which they histories of our cinemas have been written. Exactly as does Luis E. Parés’ opera prima, The First Look, about the first cinema school in Spain.
