Screenplay
En la isla de Tahití, en la Polinesia Francesa, el Alto Comisario de la República, De Roller, representante del Estado francés, es un hombre calculador de modales impecables. Tanto en las recepciones oficiales como en los establecimientos ilegales, no deja de tomar el pulso a una población local cuya ira puede despertarse en cualquier momento. Y más aún cuando un rumor se instala: parece haberse avistado un submarino, cuya presencia fantasmal podría anunciar una reanudación de los ensayos nucleares franceses.

In “Spaces #3”, 7 internationally acclaimed directors shot, after commissioning by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, a short film at home, making their own timely comment on the new reality that we live in. The project is inspired by the book “Species of Spaces” by the French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist, Georges Perec and the days of quarantine. The idea is to create a film at home, using the environment, the people or the animals in that space. The only outdoor areas that may be used are outdoor living spaces, such as the terrace, the garden, the balcony and the stairwell. “My influences” is Albert Serra’s submission.

Madame de Dumeval, el Conde de Tesis y el Duque de Wand, libertinos expulsados de la corte puritana de Luis XVI, van en busca del legendario Duque de Walchen, un seductor y libre pensador alemán, solos en un país donde reina la hipocresía y las falsas virtudes. Su misión: exportar el libertinaje en Alemania. Pero antes deben encontrar un lugar seguro donde continuar sus prácticas licenciosas. ¿Las novicias de un convento cercano se dejarán también arrastrar ellas por esta noche oscura donde sólo reina la ley del deseo insaciable?

Self
My mother googles the film hero of her youth: Helmut Berger. She is shocked: only an addicted shadow of the former icon seems to be left. She decides to halt the obvious catastrophic decline of the once “most handsome man in the world”. As a consequence, this one-time god of the screen is suddenly sitting on my mother’s sofa in Nordsehl in Lower Saxony. And he stays put - for several months. While he trustingly rolls out his whole life before us, the dividing lines between film team, world star and family intermingle. This is a film about ageing, rising and falling - and about the fact that it is sometimes possible to regain an element of dignity in life.

Screenplay
The film takes place in Ireland – an Ireland where people speak Catalan with a Fassbinder accent – from the 1930 to today, and follows in several parallel directions the sprawling saga of two rival gold mines, the exploitation of artists by Capital, and the simultaneous opening of a brothel where women do not like men. Because he does things his own way, Albert Serra’s most narrative and wordy film was not meant for cinema: produced by the Venice Biennale, it was part of an installation, its chapters shown simultaneously on several screens. Singularity could very well have been called “Velvet Goldmine”, as it sings the meeting of brothels and tunnels, of a golden stud and lustful bodies (both shown as abstractions).

En el año setenta y uno, a finales del franquismo, Mercè Rodoreda, una de las autoras europeas más importantes del siglo veinte, coincide en Ginebra, donde vivía, con el crítico literario y editor Josep Maria Castellet y le invita a merendar en su casa. La escritora, ciertamente un personaje recóndito, guardaba el secreto de todo lo que la concernía, se había convertido ella misma en secreto o, quizás, incluso, en productora de secretos. Pero aquella tarde, extrañamente, se abrió y compartió muchos de ellos.

El film se centra en la transición entre el siglo XVIII, el del racionalismo, el siglo de las luces y la sensualidad, y los principios del siglo XIX, el del romanticismo, el oscurantismo y la violencia. Dos famosas figuras personifican estos mundos, Casanova y Drácula. En Francia, en una atmósfera de corrupción y alegría artística, un veterano marqués, siempre acompañado por su sirviente de las tierras del norte, vive en un pequeño pueblo agrícola rodeado de bosques. El Marqués es conocido por sus espectaculares conquistas sexuales. Sin embargo, con la llegada del Conde, la atmósfera en el pequeño pueblo llegará a ser oscura y opresiva, llevándonos hasta un repentino, extraño y misterioso final.

An anthology of one-minute films created by 60 international filmmakers on the theme of the death of cinema. Intended as an ode to 35mm, the film was screened one time only on a purpose-built 20x12 meter public cinema screen in the Port of Tallinn, Estonia, on 22 December 2011. A special projector was constructed for the event which allowed the actual filmstrip to be burnt at the same time as the film was shown.

The exhibition 'The Complete Letters' features epistolary works defined by cinematographic creation. This is an experimental communication format used between pairs of film directors. Although each director is situated in a location geographically distant from that of their partner, they are united by their willingness to share ideas and reflections on all that motivates their work. Within this space of freedom, the directors featured in the exhibition examine their affinities and differences, within an environment of mutual respect and simultaneity of interests and with notable formal variants established in each of the correspondences.

Waiting for Sancho is an ontological investigation into a place where cinema becomes something more than cinema. Filmed in high-definition colour over five days in the Canary Islands of Fuerteventura and Tenerife, Waiting for Sancho is a kind of experimental “making of” the critically acclaimed El cant dels ocells (Birdsong_/_Le chant des oiseaux). A particular take on the Biblical story of The Three Kings en route to the baby Jesus, El cant dels ocells premiered at the Quinzaine des Realisateurs at Cannes 2008.

A successful black theatre and opera stage director, a very demanding and determined person, is going through a prolonged and devastating spiritual ordeal, of unknown origin, to which she seems to have become accustomed. She lives in a permanent drunkenness, shocking and implausible but paradoxically controlled and with hardly any excesses. She has a growing fascination for the talent and magnetism of one of the actresses, whose career she wants to dominate, as she considers herself responsible and owner of her triumph.

A portrait of the world of contemporary art. A world full of extravagances and colorful characters, but suggestive of the contrast it represents with the normal life of most people. An artificial, theatrical and equivocal world but inhabited by innocence and blind faith in the transforming power of art. The film is a tribute to this world and to these people, with ironic and often provocative borders, but sincere in their admiration for the subversive power of the artists who always question, and in the most unexpected (sometimes involuntary) way, our system of values.
