“Reflections, philosophically and politically sophisticated, on the relationship of film to reality, time, place, memory and death mix with subtle, telling, elegant images to produce intellectually provocative cinema.” - Time Out London
An ongoing project of Barcelona's Centre of Contemporary Culture, Correspondence charts the exchange of filmic “letters” between some of the world's most revered filmmakers.
In this most recent instalment, Jonas Mekas, godfather of the American avant-garde, and renowned Spanish experimentalist José Luis Guerín (In the City of Sylvia; Memories of a Morning, part of Jeonju Digital Project 2011, MIFF 11) engage in a pointed, lyrical visual discourse on the nature of filmmaking and humanity's ever-evolving relationship to the moving image. The result is a wide-ranging and poignant cinematic immersion that draws together the lives, careers and hopes of two filmmakers, so different in age, who share a need to find in cinema a language for expressing the ineffable.
