La Alameda 2018 (+Q&A)

A film that portraits economic violence, class struggle and margination through the history of an emblematic quarter in Seville. Alameda de Hércules —the underground district where Flamenco was born— was marked by prostitution and drugs and later on real estate speculation.

Rocío Huertas explores these subjects through unique locals. With natural empathy, she also adds her memories in animated collages. Always with the marginalized, she rebuilds the experiences that made us who we are, our sense of community and how we relate to our cities. Anthropology, sociology and emotional urbanism that connects movie-making to the corners (real and imaginary) where our lives take place.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Rocío Huertas.

This event has been made possible thanks to the support of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) through the PICE’s grants programme.
