Photography exhibit
ALFAZ DEL PI is hosting a photography exhibition by famous Spanish actor Javier Cámara until July 16.
El placer de mirar (The pleasure of looking) can be visited at the Casa de Cultura from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 9pm, free entry.
According to organisers: “For many years Javier has documented images of colleagues, actors, directors and technicians during the filming in which he has taken part. El placer de mirar is an artistic proposal based on the documentary photographs taken as a spy by one of the key actors of Spanish cinema.
“A story of intra cinema, insinuating and sometimes disturbing, which places us before the opinion of Javier Cámara as the author of this fascinating work. He makes us accomplices and participants in his gaze in which opinion, vanity and the discovery of the magic of cinema come together.”
The display is part of the 35th Cinema Festival taking place in Alfaz until
