1975 (51 год)El gran vuelo
Carolina Astudillo Muñoz
In the early years of the Franco dictatorship, Clara Pueyo Jornet, an active militant in the Communist Party, escapes from Les Corts prison in Barcelona by the front door. From that moment, she vanishes without a trace. She had been living on the run and she sought to escape from the rigidity of her own party. Her story is also the story of the women of her time and their struggle for freedom in a society that tried to repress them.
The Great Flight
Ainhoa, yo no soy esa
Carolina Astudillo Muñoz
A family that films, records and photographs daily life. Ainhoa, the youngest daughter, decides to start writing what she doesn’t want to tell anyone during her adolescence. In her diaries, which she preserves until her death, there are many experiences, stories and letters related to the experience of women. Ainhoa writes, films and she also represents herself. Ainhoa is an essay on women’s writings. An alternative chronicle to the official Spanish history of the 90’s, told from an intimate point of view and based on a real testimony.

Lo indecible
Carolina Astudillo Muñoz
In November 1974, the Principal of a small school in Santiago was kidnapped and taken to a detention centre by State agents, who accused her of belonging to the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). Her account, more than a memory of her stay in a clandestine centre, is focused on the impossibility of narrating an experience like this. The torture experience is inaccessible. There are no images or words which can represent it.
The Unspeakable
Naturaleza muerta

Freud described the sinister (unheimlich) as a contradictory experience where the strange is presented to us as known and the known becomes strange. A granddaughter discovers that her grandmother's past was very different from what she had been told. Could it be that in times of war, morality is subordinated to survival?

El deseo de la civilización
Carolina Astudillo Muñoz
War as a preposterous and absolutely masculine fiction -as well as the educational and occupational exclusion of women in a society that educates them to serve and be mothers- is repudiated by Virginia Woof in Three Guineas. The Civilization Desire is a piece that appropriates family movies filmed in Spain during the Republic, the Civil War and the early years of Francoism. The home movie becomes an alternative chronicle to the great stories, that reveals social differences and gender stereotypes learned from childhood, in the civilization of strength, despised by Woolf.

De monstruos y faldas
Carolina Astudillo Muñoz
Libertad, Enriqueta, Maricarmen and Albert evoke the years when their mothers and his aunt stayed in Les Corts jail, times of innocence, hopelessness and distress. Their childhood stories inmmerse us in a world whose main characters are memories, oblivion and the passing of time.

Un paseo por New York Harbor

The apparent quietness of a sunny Sunday kindles the walkers of New York. Do they not hear the chants for peace, the shouts against war or the agitation in the streets caused by the civil rights movements? A letter addressed to a brother, the words of poet Langston Hughes and the jazz rhythm reminds us that 1967 was a hectic year.
