ERICE - ANGELOPOULOS - PASOLINI - "A PLACE IN CINEMA" (DOCUMENTARY FEATURE)
Dear colleague, Let me present myself as Miguel Angel Jiménez, executive producer of the production company Un Lugar en el Cine S.L. Our company wishes to present you at the Marché du Film in Cannes our documentary feature film A place in Cinema, directed by Alberto Morais. The subject of the film is cinematographic resistance, understood through a commitment and dialog with History, and is structured through three film-makers: The Greek master Theo Angelopoulos (Ulysses Gaze, Eternity and a day) embarks from Athens on a trip, which ends in Ostia, the Roman beach where Pier Paolo Pasolini (Teorema, Saló, ) was murdered. Far from there, in a railway station in Spain, the Spanish film-maker Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive, The South) reveals himself through an interview whose discursive epicentre is the cinematographic resistance. In Italy, we meet Tonino Guerra (scriptwriter of Fellini, Antonioni, Tarkovski, Angelopoulos), Ninetto Dávoli and Nico Naldini. They will close, representing Pasolinis missing voice, the historical and cinematographical triangle comformed by the three film-makers we want to pay homage. In another place, at another time, a projectionist travels around the Balkans with his projector and a copy of Roberto Rosellinis Roma, Città Aperta, on which bases one of our Historys mainstay, Neo-realism. In each place the projectionist visits, he will show Rosellinis film, projecting it outdoor. All of them take part in a revealing and reflexive trip called A place in Cinema Almost all the documentary is already filmed, in Super 16mm format, including the encounters with Theo Angelopoulos, Víctor Erice The film duration will be approximately 100 minutes length and is expected to be completed by Fall 2006. It will be a great pleasure to have the opportunity to present you personally in Cannes this fascinating documentary project when it best suits to your schedule. A 20-min sample of the film is available. I will be in Cannes at the RIVIERA STAND A1 / C2 - C5 from Saturday 20th to Monday 22nd. Please feel free to let me know where and when would you like to meet. We are open to discuss either a pre-sale or a co-production basis, according to your interests. Thanking you in advance for your interest and looking forward to hearing from you soon, Miguel Angel Jiménez Executive Producer Un Lugar en el Cine, S.L. P.S.
