The latest works by Pedro Almodóvar and Wim Wenders, The Room Next Door and Perfect Days, are two of ALCINE's proposals for the December long weekend
Four of the most notable international films of the year, including the latest ones by Pedro Almodóvar and Wim Wenders, and the screening of Pulp Fiction on the 30th anniversary of its premiere is the proposal for this December long weekend of the ALCINE International Feature Film Exhibition 53, the Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid Film Festival, which will offer two daily screenings at the Teatro Salón Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares from the 4th to the 8th of December.
“Just like last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of The Big Lebowski, taking advantage of the fact that we are on the 30th anniversary of Pulp Fiction, this year we wanted to program this film that is already a classic, in addition to some surprise activities,” says Pedro Toro. , artistic director of ALCINE.
An opportunity to see the return to the big screen of Jules and Vincent, on Thursday, December 5, at 8:30 p.m., and Sunday, December 8, at 5:00 p.m.
The Room Next Door, the recently released latest work by Almodóvar (Wednesday, December 4, at 6:00 p.m., and Saturday, December 7, at 8:30 p.m.), and Perfect Days, the latest film by Wim Wenders (Wednesday, December 4, at 8:30 p.m., and Friday, December 6, at 6:00 p.m.) are the two proposals selected to open the Exhibition programming International Feature Film Festival, December 4.
“We have, on the one hand, Pedro Almodóvar's latest film, which is also partly filmed in Alcalá de Henares. And as for European cinema, but with a Japanese flavor, we have Perfect Days, by Wenders, who went to shoot this last film in Japan, and which is an ode to the beauty of small things, poetry, relaxed rhythm, Lou Reed and music on cassette,” explains Pedro Toro, artistic director of ALCINE.
Purely Japanese is another of the proposals at the Show, the latest project by Hayao Miyazaki, who returns to animation with The Boy and the Heron (for ages 7 and up) which will be screened on Friday, December 6 at 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday the 7th at 6:00 p.m.
And, in a nod to the 30th anniversary of Tarantino's classic, the International Feature Film Festival also brings to Alcalá de Henares “one of the independent productions that has attracted the most attention this year, which features Kristen Stewart in a very striking role and also with Ed Harris with a very peculiar look,” says Toro. This is Blood on the Lips, by Rose Glass, which can be seen in a double session with Pulp Fiction on Thursday, December 5, at 6:00 p.m., and Sunday, December 8, at 8:00 p.m.
“We create a dialogue in the programming with what was that cinema of the 90s of action and gunfighters, and this revitalization of the black cinema that Tarantino made fashionable in the 90s, in the case of Blood on the lips from an optimal feminine, feminist, equally badass and openly,” says the artistic director of ALCINE.
Tickets for the ten screenings of the International Feature Film Exhibition are now on sale online and can also be purchased at the Teatro Salón Cervantes box office.
