80 years of Fuerteventura films
'Fuerteventura, images to remember' illustrates the profound changes that the territory has experienced and the way the island lives
Eight decades of profound change in Fuerteventura synthesized in four film sessions. Filmoteca Canaria, in collaboration with the Casa de los Coroneles, begins the cycle 'Fuerteventura: images for remembrance', which shows the evolution of the island, from the post-war period to the present, through images that reflect changes in the landscape and lifestyle through the advance of political reality or the irruption of the 'tourist boom'. The cycle includes films that have been deposited over 35 years in this entity by public institutions or by individuals and that, once recovered, were restored and digitized for conservation and dissemination. The sessions will be on June 23 and 30 and July 7 and 14 at the Raíz del Pueblo store, in La Oliva, from 7:00 p.m.
The program will begin tomorrow, Thursday 23, with the screening of 'Fuerteventura' (1941), a production of the Spanish Falange in which a capital still called Puerto Cabras is observed, composed of its tiny white houses and in which the camel is the great means of transport and work. Twenty years later, with 'Vacaciones en Fuerteventura (1962)', 'Playas de Jandía, el paraíso del Sol y el silencio (1960)' and 'Fuerteventura (1980)' the first decades of irruption of the tourist industry on the island will be illustrated, with the private and public will to publicize the majoreras beaches inside and outside Spain.
On the 30th, spectators will delve into the reality of Fuerteventura during the last years of the Franco regime, with the international opening and the beginning of the transition. The screenings 'Fuerteventura (1970s)', filmed by Roberto Rodríguez Castillo in collaboration with the Cabildo de La Palma and 'Fuerteventura in Super 8', taken by different tourists who visited the island during these years of change of political paradigm.
The tradition and rural life majorera, will be the protagonists of the third session of the cycle, which will be exhibited on July 4 with the screening of Asina (2007), directed by Daniel Lagares, a film that shows the daily life of livestock families on the island. These adaptive wisdoms survive in a scenario of fragility, where traditional ways of life drift towards the fields of folklore or towards new forms of economy such as construction or tourism.
To conclude the cycle, a final session will be dedicated to current productions of Fuerteventura, in which the current concern to keep its historical and cultural heritage safe is reflected. 'In Search of the English' (2021), an investigation into what happened in the battles of Cuchillete and Tamasite in 1740, and 'In the middleland' (2021), a tour of the Fuerteventura of the last century, when the farmers worked halfway the lands of the large landowners. With 'The Doctor' (2016), inspired by a history of oral tradition of the island on medicine in times of difficulty, this commitment to discover and understand how majorera life has developed over the last eighty years will be concluded.
Tamara: I tried to get a place for the first event but it is limited to 30 places and all are gone. Hopefully they will repeat the showings. (I didn't see anything about it until today, the day before the first screening.)
