The Festival de Málaga rescues the most irreverent cinema with the Underground Andaluz season
The films 'La matanza de Utrera' and 'Ellos robaron la picha de Hitler' were the stars of this year's session.
This Friday 21st, the Festival de Málaga held the 'Underground Andaluz' cycle, a space for films shot outside the industry, curated by the director Alberto Rodríguez. This special section seeks to rescue and highlight Andalusian productions with low budgets and a transgressive vision.
The session took place at the Albéniz cinema with the screening of 'La matanza de Utrera', by Félix Caña Moreno and José Luis Reinoso, and 'Ellos robaron la picha de Hitler', by Pedro Temboury.
Between the screenings, there was a round table and a tribute to Paul Lapidus, a key figure in Spanish underground cinema, with the participation of directors Jaime Noguera, Ezequiel Montes, Alberto Rodríguez, Santiago Amodeo, Pedro Temboury, Félix Caña, Paco Campana, Mariluz Sánchez and actor and writer Lucio Romero.
Caña explained that his passion for film was born "out of sheer laziness, at university instead of presenting written work, I presented it on video." 'La matanza de Utrera' took shape "out of pure amusement, out of a desire to do what we liked. It was born out of several short films shot on weekends, with many hours and very little shame."
In turn, Temboury explained that 'Ellos robaron la picha de Hitler' "was a film in which I tried not to lose the irreverence, the hooliganism and what nobody dares to do."
This season, as always, is an opportunity to discover films that, from outside the industry, have built their own identity and have left their mark on the most alternative Andalusian cinema.
