PARALLEL ACTIVITIES

The Seville Festival takes the cinema to the streets with its Parallel Activities section.

A way to bring the Festival closer to the city, creating a meeting place for filmmakers with the audience. A place to share and exchange conversations with guest filmmakers in bookstores, universities, institutes, and even in the penitentiary.

Cultural activities such as seminars, meetings and special screenings.

SEMINARIO 'POR UN CINE SIN LÍMITES'

Abierto el plazo de inscripciones para esta actividad, que acogerá el CICUS los días 8, 9 y 10 de noviembre

Siete figuras de primer nivel en el panorama del cine contemporáneo protagonizarán el Seminario ‘Por un cine sin límites. Imágenes para tiempos eléctricos’, que acogerá el CICUS en el marco del Festival, durante los días 8, 9 y 10 de noviembre. Un espacio de encuentro para dialogar, reflexionar y debatir con los directores invitados, en el que los asistentes podrán disfrutar también de un itinerario de proyecciones gratuitas formado por ochos largometrajes de la sección Las Nuevas Olas, todos ellos estreno en España. El plazo de inscripción estará abierto hasta el 31 de octubre en la web del CICUS, y la adjudicación de plazas se realizará por orden de solicitud.

El maestro Pere Portabella, el eterno insurrecto Albert Serra, el artista multidisplinar y director del Sónar Sergio Caballero, el renovador del cine español José Luis Guerin, la reconocida investigadora cultural Ingrid Guardiola, el reciente triunfador en Locarno Eloy Enciso y la imprescindible cineasta noruega Lene Berg reflexionarán, desde sus particulares miradas, sobre los apasionantes seísmos que sacuden al audiovisual actual.

Como indicaba Elena López Riera, realizadora y miembro del comité de selección de nuestro festival en el catálogo de 2017, el cine, eterno reflejo de la sociedad, experimenta actualmente tiempos eléctricos. Tiempos en los que todo intento de calificar obras que se distancien de la ficción convencional parece imposible. Documental, híbrido audiovisual, experimentación... cualquier definición parece insuficiente o efímera en un mundo marcado por el flujo vertiginoso de imágenes. Estos son tiempos en los que las películas no existen para responder a etiquetas innecesarias, sino para cuestionarlas y encontrar su verdadero significado en una realidad que nunca cesa de mutar.

Esta quinta edición del Seminario parte de la colaboración entre el Festival de Sevilla y la Universidad de Sevilla (US), a través de su Centro de Iniciativas Culturales (CICUS) y con la coordinación académica de los profesores Sergio Cobo (US), Alberto Hermida (US) y Samuel Fernández Pichel (Universidad Pablo de Olavide).

Special Actions. THE OTHER STORY. EXPANDED CINEMA AND PUBLIC SPACE

Directed by Rocío Huertas. Curated by Jesús García.

Rocío Huertas takes us on a journey through the memory of the Sevillian neighbourhood La Alameda de Hércules, a territory that runs counter to the current flow and is the core of the filmmaker's latest project. A place that between the 80's and 2000 was linked to prostitution and later to drugs, and in which underground culture burst onto the scene. For years, Huertas has been investigating the roots of the phenomenon of prostitution through interviews with its protagonists and audiovisual works made from them: witnesses, people affected and, many of them, expelled by urban speculation.

This itinerary offers us a film experience through a guided tour around the urban environment. In this way, we’ll find Deborah Santa Cruz de la Jara, transsexual and resident of the neighborhood; the actor Manolo Solo; the musician and playwright Fernando Mansilla (recently deceased, and to whom the project pays tribute); the anthropologist and stage designer Rosa María Martínez Moreno; the lawyer Vanesa Casado; the anthropologist Hilario Sáez Méndez; Rocío, Vane and Carmen, neighbours of the corrala "la ilusión"; and even to the filmmaker Agnès Varda, especially linked to the project.

Registro previo para ruta. Aforo limitado.

Place: The tour begins Alameda de Hércules and

concludes in the Casa Grande del Pumarejo with a round table.

Date: Sunday November 10, 12.00 to 14.00 h. (second show Saturday November 16)

Exhibition EUROPEAN PUZZLE. JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BÉCHET

In collaboration with the French Institute. Curated by Rafael Pérez Cortés, Professor of Fine Arts.

An exhibition by the renowned Marseilles photographer Jean-Christophe Béchet which is framed within the TIFE 2019 (Cultural Season of the French Institute of Culture of Spain) with the slogan "We, Europe". A series of photographs that evoke the visual diversity of Europe through street scenes, portraits and landscapes, aiming to reflect the features of the ever changing, contradictory and idealistic continent that has survived conflicts and crises. As Béchet explains: "Both in colour and in black and white, I have given as much importance to architecture as to human beings, to warmth in the light, to small accidents and moments throughout history. In this way, a sinuous and silent path is created that allows the documentary spirit to dialogue with the poetic temptation...".
