The Festival de Málaga hosts Madrid Collage, a cinematographic journey through the visual memory of Madrid

On Wednesday 11 March, the film's team shared the key features of a project based on more than 80 titles from the 20th century

The 29th Festival de Málaga, organised by Malaga City Council through Malaga Procultura, hosted a preview screening of the documentary Madrid Collage, a cinematographic journey that immerses the viewer in the visual memory of Madrid through more than 80 emblematic films of the 20th century.

The director of the documentary Madrid collage, Javier Morales Pérez, explained in the colloquium held at the Rectorate of the University of Málaga, that he is "fascinated" by the change in cities over time. This concern was the starting point for a project that he himself defines as simple and with an essence close to the cinema of yesteryear: "One of my requirements when selecting the material was that it had to be 20th century films. It is a documentary that brings together films, breaking down their fiction to combine them and create this project", Morales emphasised.

The documentary offers an archaeology of the city on film, where hundreds of fictional characters cross paths in a timeless Madrid that reveals the profound transformations of the capital and of Spain over the decades. A visual essay on collective memory, where cinema reveals itself as the most faithful chronicler of our time. "It is a project that allows us to travel back in time," added Víctor Aertsenm, head of communications at Madrid Film Office.

Miguel López, head of programming and marketing at FixOlé, stressed that Madrid, being such an important centre of cinema, has a lot of material they were able to work with. "I think it's a very nice project, because Spanish cinema has never made a documentary of this kind that reflects these socio-cultural changes," he concluded.
