Western Madrid. A place where one of the bloodiest and deadliest battles of the Spanish Civil War took place. A group of teenagers research, recite, and debate on the testimonies of those soldiers who fought back then. They embrace the experiences of the veterans and the dead.

Meanwhile, the film mutates, adapts, and evolves through their eyes. They are part of a new generation open to critically discuss and review education and historical memory in the midst of a polarized country.

Although the oceans make up more than 70% of the Earth’s surfice, until now only a very small part of the seabed has been mapped. However, in recent years, the mapping of these spaces has accelerated due to different economic, geopolitical and scientific interests, determined to build a “new continent” to be explored and exploited underwater. Liquid Ground is a video essay that uses the ocean floor and its current cartography to talk about colonialism, ecology and representation. Shaped by a wide variety of found material —from the illustrations of the first worldwide oceanographic expedition to current technologies and visions related to the ocean floor— Liquid Ground functions as a reminder of the liquid grounds that make up and sustain the planet. Moreover, it is a call to disobeying the stability of the arbitrary, extractive and limiting lines that are mapped across the world. Like any other form of knowledge, Liquid Ground is also a set of riddles.

The sparrows make their way through the machinery, into the exhaust pipes, the open engines or the seats of the cars on the third floor. In the early morning, when they hear the opening of the big gate, they fly quickly to get inside. Today the garage is a safe place for them, just as it was once for my father in the 1980s.

No river protects me from myself takes as its starting point the mysterious theft of filmed material shot in the Congo Basin rainforest. The material offers a response to conflicts arising from the fragile and transsubjective encounter with the “non-self”, which can only be practised or experienced: if you try to virtualise it, it ceases to exist.

Who is Sycorax? The first of all characters in William Shakespeare´s “The Tempest” to set foot on the island of the play.

The problem is that Sycorax has no voice. She is barely mentioned by Prospero as a crooked, old, wicked witch who vilely locked Ariel, the spirit of the air, in a tree.

But why would she lock Ariel in a tree? Here, we wouldn’t believe Prospero so much.

Óliver Laxe brings us closer to his immediate world: A Vilela, where he tries to build his life’s project while reflecting on spirituality, the simple and the symbolic, on the soil in which our future is rooted. The return to the agricultural sector is a metaphor for how to care for the landscape, and to let ourselves be cared for by it.

Distant lights draw the city. Shining ships arrive with sleeping people and the night turns liquid.

Juan Tallón (Vilardevós, Ourense,1975) spends all day writing, especially when he isn’t writing. He collaborates with El País, Jot Down, El Progreso and Cadena Ser. In 2020, two weeks before confinement, he presented ‘Rewind’ (Anagrama), a book set in Lyon about the fragility of life, unexpected blows and things that are lost forever. This documentary tells the story of the process of creating ‘Rewind’, his latest novel ‘Masterpiece’, and how the new reality ended up taking over from fiction.
