The 17th Seville European Film Festival hosts today the world premiere of La Alameda 2018, a documentary by Rocío Huertas (Seville, 1973) where self-fiction and animation meet; essential languages for the collective memory of Seville's popular neighborhood. This film, which will compete in the Andalusian Panorama section, is based on the experiences of its emblematic neighbors and witnesses to the most profound local culture, including their own experiences as artists rooted in that scene. This work is based on the work of the filmmaker and urban planner Juan Sebastián Bollaín during the years of the Transition, to "link the filming practice with the place, the corner or the corridor where life was played out," according to Huertas. The purpose of this project, which the director from Seville has based on several interviews, is "to inflict a sudden cut in the fictional city we inhabit, to make visible a gap through which we can go from being mere extras in an urban setting to questioning it, offering a glimpse into all these lives in order to understand the past and prepare ourselves for what is yet to come".
