VERSES TO KEEP RESISTING

Laura Hojman's is one of the featured names this year in the Andalusian Panorama section. Antonio Machado. Los días azules takes the last verses written by the poet as a starting point to delve into his figure and the valuable lesson his work represents, through the testimony of outstanding contemporary writers such as Francisca Aguirre, Luis García Montero, Elvira Lindo, and Antonio Muñoz Molina. A revival of Machado's legacy as a stronghold of culture, knowledge, and education that transformed society, which seems to have come at the right time: now that everything is shaking around us, it is time to vindicate our classics, people who knew how to interpret the world at that time and made themselves read when poetry was equal to taking action and militancy. This filmmaker, producer, and scriptwriter comes to the festival to receive this year's Best Director in Andalusia Award, given by Canal Sur Radio and Television at the Ibero-American Film Festival in Huelva. Hojman debuted with a documentary about another emblematic poet, Rubén Darío, whose work inspired Machado and his colleagues from the Generation of '98. Verses and images to continue resisting in these other blue days.
