The BFI event is a study day that aims to use Almod\u00f3var\u2019s work as a starting point to unravel ideas about Spanish cinema, cinephilia, history, and memory. It forms part of retrospective season, <a href=\"https:\/\/whatson.bfi.org.uk\/Online\/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=almodovar2016&amp;BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=\">\u2018Almod\u00f3var at BFI Southbank\u2019<\/a>, in anticipation of the release of his new film <em>Julieta <\/em>(2016).<\/p>\n<p>Nuria will be giving a presentation entitled \u2018Pedro Almod\u00f3var and the Legend of the Movida\u2019. She will explore the singularity of Almod\u00f3var\u2019s cinema by tracing its roots to a Spanish Punk scene whose ferment generated photographers, artists, and musicians especially, but only one filmmaker who survived. It will consider how those films and their legacy shape contemporary memories of that unique moment in Spanish history. The talk will focus on <em>Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Average Girls <\/em>(1980) and <em>Labyrinth of Passions <\/em>(1982), those sunny chronicles of the Spanish Punk moment, in contrast with the darker visions of <em>Arrebato<\/em> (1980), the film from that period <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bfi.org.uk\/news-opinion\/news-bfi\/features\/pedro-almodovar-13-great-spanish-films-influenced-me\">chosen by Almod\u00f3var himself for the BFI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The BFI is a London-based charitable organisation, established by Royal Charter to promote and preserve film and television. The event will be held at the BFI Southbank, a four-screen venue in London.<\/p>\n<p>To find about more about the event and book, please see the BFI webpage here: <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/gwu3ecx\">http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/gwu3ecx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor N\u00faria Triana Toribio, Professor of Hispanic Studies in the Department of Modern Languages, will be presenting at the forthcoming British Film Institute (BFI) study &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2016\/08\/22\/nuria-triana-toribio-at-the-bfi\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2458,"featured_media":6435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6438"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2458"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6438"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6442,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6438\/revisions\/6442"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
