Tractora Koop. E. Resident Collective programme

«LIKE THE LENSES A CHILD PLAYS WITH IN COLOR RUNAWAY DOG (2011), ANDRÉS' FILMS ARE RECURRING PEEPHOLES INTO THE WORLD« EDUARDO ELECHIGUERRA, ANDRÉS DUQUE RETROSPECTIVA. ALCANCES, DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL.

The artists' cooperative Tractora presents its fourth session, Kinu#4, as part of the Resident Collective programme. Kinu is a self-training initiative in which creative experiences are shared and, through them, fertile spaces are created to satisfy the production and educational needs and interests of local artists.

After the Kinu#2 and Kinu#3 sessions with guests Maddi Barber and Sabine Groenewegen, the series continues on 12 April with Kinu#4, a session dedicated to the work of Andrés Duque, a Spanish filmmaker born in Venezuela. His work lies on the periphery of Spanish non-fiction and is strongly essayistic in nature.

ANDRÉS DUQUE. His first film, Ivan Z, is a portrait of the cult filmmaker Iván Zulueta. His works have won numerous awards and recognitions at film festivals around the world (Punto de Vista Documentary Film Festival, Cinéma du Réel, DokuFest, D’A, Unicorn Awards, Goya Awards) and have been exhibited in cultural centres such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), Museum of Modern Art Vienna (MUMOK), Moscow Museum of Contemporary Art (GARAGE) and State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, among others. In 2018 he commenced a two-part project on Karelia, a territory near the Russian-Finish border. He is currently preparing the second part.

PROGRAMME

April 18, Sunday / 12:00 p.m. Ensayo final para utopía (2012) Dress Rehearsal for Utopia While accompanying his sick father in a a hospital in Venezuela, the filmmaker's thoughts hark back to Mozambique, where he was filming when he received news of his father’s delicate state of health. Images of dance and revolution - some retrieved and others shot by the filmmaker - evoke an alternative reality, a spectral world conjured by the the sensuality of movement. Cinema can become an immersive experience. Films such as Dress Rehearsal for Utopia (Ensayo final para utopía) are proof of this.

April 25, Sunday / 12:00 p.m. Carelia: internacional con monumento (2019) Karelia: International with Monument The filmmaker goes to Karelia at the behest of Oleg Karavaychuk (1927-2016), a Russian pianist to whom he dedicated his previous film. In Karelia, trees are everything. In a settlement near the Russian-Finnish border, a family keeps certain traditional shamanic rituals alive. The children play in the woods, where photos are nailed to the tree trunks which remind one of Stalin's bloody repression. Spirituality and politics intersect in this intuitive montage of poetic impressions: historical archive, nature shots, family scenes and probing testimonies which, through imagination, create a historical memory.
