略歴
José Luis Guerín (born 1960) is a Spanish filmmaker and educator, known for his meditative and intellectually curious work in both documentary and narrative filmmaking.
Describing Guerin in an introduction to a series of his films, the programmers of the Harvard Film Archive wrote: "Guerín's films purposefully confound narrative and documentary traditions, discovering rich narrative threads woven into the tapestries of his real life subjects and unraveling mysteries without solutions that nevertheless leave the viewer deeply satisfied."

In Saint-Louis Cathedral, at La Rochelle, in a chapel filled with merchant marine ex-votos, there’s a painting that witnesses the tragedy of The Saphir in 1741. This schooner was becalmed for days and days in inter-tropical waters, with 271 slaves and 30 crew members on board. This painting is like a secret door in a Cathedral that opens on to the great History…

A sequel to 'Mauris Barres', directed by Jean-Marie Straub, wandering around Mont Saint-Eudil. Jean-Marie Straub, a ‘fighter’ of modern cinema, who explores the physical properties of movies; Claire Denis, an ‘adventurer’ who crosses boundaries and encounters others; Jose, the ‘walker’ who discovers the mysteries of life with the attitude of an essayist Louis Guerin's original cinematic world.

Utilizing the impressionistic techniques of IN THE CITY OF SYLVIA (if SYLVIA was a riff on the “city film,” the more miniaturized MEMORIES might be termed a “street-corner film”), Guerín uses a disturbing incident in his Barcelona neighborhood to thread together a rich tapestry on music, culture, community, the fragility of life, and the tenacity of life.
The short film is like a journal page of film making. On making a film (in 1966) in Barcelona. On assembling together surviving fragments of the film, but not as a vestige of something for ever lost, but rather an occasion for making a new film of all sorts of fragments: images in Barcelona (in 2008/9) that echo images of the older film; images of making films (Hanoun's own, Boris Lehman's; other friends'); images of a storm in Biarritz; fragments of conversations...
