The 70th anniversary of the “Fotogramas” magazine comes in the shape of a sentimental voyage through the history of Spanish cinema thanks to a mosaic of voices represented by people who make films, those who write them and those who consume them. The documentary pays tribute to the readers of “Fotogramas” helped by the leading figures of Spanish cinema, who will read to the camera the most representative letters received at its offices in the history of the magazine.

Bolaño cercano

Juan Villoro, Enrique Vila-Matas
Generously included as a bonus DVD alongside the 502-page Bolaño salvaje, a book of essays about and reminiscences on the Chilean novelist/poet published by the Barcelona-based Editorial Candy. Bolaño cercano [a difficult to translate title approximating something like Bolaño, Up Close and Personal], which offers up a sympathetic portrait of Bolaño as a loving family man and tireless reader and writer and teases with ever so brief glimpses of his personal library and countless spiral notebooks filled with rough drafts of his novels and poetry and even comic book-like drawings and illustrations.

María Reniu, Luis Ciges
Enrique Vila-Matas directed in 1969 a black and white short film entitled "All the sad young people". The copy was lost and today there are only a few photographs of the shooting. In 1970 he directed his second work, "End of Summer", played by Maria Reniu, Luis Ciges and Yvonne Sentís and photographed by Xabier Miserachs. The film was premiered at the Benalmádena festival in 1971. The second exhibition took place 39 years later at The Peripheral Film Festival (S8) in La Coruña in a program dedicated to opere prime of filmmakers of the Spanish transition and which had as title: "Peter Pan in the cinema of the Spanish transition"
