Cine and Sculpture: “Ciento Volando

On Tuesday, November 18, we have another session at Vídeo Instan (Viladomat, 239, Barcelona).

We will be showing the documentary "Ciento Volando", by Arantxa Aguirre (2024). Over the course of twelve months, while the earth makes one trip around the sun, Jone, a Fine Arts student, will direct his steps to Chillida Leku in search of a sculptor who was born a hundred years ago. There, little by little, the works of Eduardo Chillida, his writings and ideas and the conversations with those who surrounded him build in the air the image of an unpressurized man. Like that horizon that Chillida contemplated so much, that the closer you get, the more it escapes you.

IMPORTANT: Because the room has a limited capacity, there is a need to have some control over the number of attendees. To do this, you will need to confirm your attendance at socis@icre.cat. This activity is free for all members, as long as the confirmation is made in advance. If you do not, you will still be able to attend (although we cannot guarantee that there will be room for everyone) by paying 5 euros, the same amount as non-members who wish to attend.

Synopsis:
It is daybreak, a summer day. A young woman from San Sebastian directs her steps towards the Peine del Viento. She remembers the old sculptor Eduardo Chillida, who frequented this place since she was a child. Today, his three sculptures rooted in the rocks, in permanent dialogue with the sea and the wind, have become a sign of identity for her city and the entire Basque coast. At dawn, the young Jone wonders about the sculptor and promises herself to go and look for him.

Eduardo Chillida (San Sebastián, 1924 – 2002) was a great artist who left an indelible mark on contemporary art. With a life dedicated to forging, carving, sculpting and modeling matter to resolve fundamental questions that arose during the creative process related to space, time, matter or spirit. He was also a defender of human rights and social justice. His ideas are an eternal testament to the capacity of people to question, discover and be surprised by the world around us and to fight for freedom and respect for all cultures. Arantxa Aguirre (Madrid, 1965), director of the award-winning documentaries Dancing Beethoven and L'esforç y l'ànim, pays tribute to Eduardo Chillida, one of the most universal and influential artists of the 20th century, on the occasion of the centenary of the artist's birth. This ambitious documentary explores the artist's universe and his creative process in depth, and takes on the challenge of bringing to audiovisual language the unique experience of visiting, feeling and living his greatest work, the Chillida Leku Museum. The documentary was presented for the first time at the 2024 San Sebastian Film Festival.
