Federico García Lorca, De Granada a la Luna
"una película de vídeo creación compuesta por doce piezas representando varias etapas de la vida de Lorca."
The Spirit of Lorca
"In a brief life filled with prodigious artistic achievements, Federico García Lorca’s greatest legacy may well be his complex and compelling personality. Filmed on location in Spain, this vintage program profiles the immortalized poet/dramatist, capturing the potent essence of Spanish culture in the process. Extracts from his poems, plays, and letters demonstrate his duende—burning passion—for the arts, while the details of his life and violent death, as told by his biographer Ian Gibson, contemporaries Rafael Alberti and Luis Rosales, and others, present a thoughtful perspective on Spain’s revered literary icon. (75 minutes, color) "
Federico García Lorca: El Balcón Abierto
"A joyful celebration of the rediscovery of the greatest Spanish writer of our century. RTVE. (Spanish, 90 min.)"
Federico García Lorca: Remembering the Earth (in English)
"Over half a century has passed since famed poet-playwright Federico García Lorca was killed in Granada at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. He lives on, however, in his immortal Canciones, Romancero Gitano, and La Casa de Bernarda Alba and other works that captured the soul of españa and the heart of the literary world. This documentary, produced by RTVE, traces his life from Fuentevagueros in Andalusia to his death at age 38 in 1936. Archival footage and personal interviews with family members, poets, writers, and artists including Edward Albee and Philip Levine provide an accurate portrait of both Lorca the man and the literary giant. Portions of Lorca’s most famous works, interwoven throughout the program, are accompanied by contemporary images of the places he held most dear. (59 minutes, color)"
Federico García Lorca: Remembering the Earth (in Spanish)
see description above
Federico García Lorca: The House of Bernarda Alba
"This riveting production of Lorca’s great play casts Glenda Jackson as the widow Bernarda who rules the family with pitiless rectitude, Joan Plowright as the housekeeper, and Patricia Hayes as the mother suffering from senile dementia. Nuria Espert and Stuart Burge direct; the translation is by Robert David MacDonald. (1 hr. 40 min.)
Recommended: Hispania"
García Lorca: A Murder in Granada
"The authoritative documentary biography, containing family memorabilia, his drawings and paintings, and the only remaining footage of the poet himself. (Spanish w/English narration, 63 min.)"
Palma de Mallorca
"The government and the language are Spanish, but the mood is different here: a mixture of antiquity and modernity, of mysterious ancient ruins and the latest fads, of traditional reserve and jet-set frivolity. (28 min.)"
