With just two weeks to go until the opening of ALCINE 54, the festival has already unofficially kicked off with great ingenuity. The Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid Film Festival and the Quevedo Institute of Humor Arts today inaugurated the exhibition 'The Other Side of Cinema': a selection of caricatures of some of the most recognizable faces in the world of cinema created by ten of today's most prominent cartoonists.
'The Other Side of Cinema' was presented today at La Fábrica del Humor and will be open to the public until December 21. The opening was attended by cartoonists Iván Mata, Agustín Sciammarella, David García Vivancos, and Turcios, creators of the works in the exhibition, along with Carlos Rodríguez Casado, Ernesto Priego Martín, María Picassó, Matías Tolsá, Raúl, and Thorsten Rienth. as well as the director of the Quevedo Institute of the Arts of Humor, Juan García Cerrada, and the artistic director of ALCINE, Pedro Toro.
The exhibition is the result of a new collaboration between the IQH and ALCINE, which is holding its 54th edition from November 6 to 16, focusing on the relationship between humor and horror. This union also marks the beginning of (J)ALCINE, the festival's new section in which seven short films from Spain and other European countries will compete for a prize of 600 euros, which will be decided by the audience at the end of the screening.
'The Other Side of Cinema', organized in collaboration with the Collective of Professional Caricaturists, is a sincere tribute to all those who have lent and continue to lend their face to the seventh art, and to those who, from behind the camera, make possible all those films that make us laugh and move.
