Gonzalo García Pelayo

García Pelayo (Madrid, 1947), a cult filmmaker and a multifaceted man, has been throughout his life an anchorman, television presenter and music producer: he produced about 130 albums with his label Gong, including pieces by Víctor Jara, Pablo Milanés, Triana, Gualberto, Lole y Manuel and María Jiménez, being a key figure in Andalusian Rock scene. In the 90s he became famous for the design of a legal method to win at the roulette tables in casinos (whose story is told in the film The Pelayos, by Eduard Cortés). As a filmmaker, he has directed the fundamental and rare author's piece Vivir en Sevilla, as well as Manuela (1975), with Charo López and Fernando Rey, Intercambio de pareja frente al mar (1978), Corridas de alegría (1982) and Rocío y José (1982). After being paid tribute in the SEFF 2012 and being the object of a retrospective in the Viennale 2013, he directs Alegrías de Cádiz (2013), Niñas (2014), Copla and Amo que te amen (2015) and Todo es de color (2016).  Nueve Sevillas is his latest film.
