AZCONA BY DAVID TRUEBA
■ •On Thursday, October 17 at 7 pm. Free.
■ At Instituto Cervantes, 211 E 49th Street, New York, NY 10017.
Rafael Azcona would have liked to the invisible man, however his name is
engraved in the history of Spanish cinema. As described by those who
knew him, Azcona was a magnificent writer, with a sharp social irony. He
began writing stories in the satirical maganize La Codorniz, where he
already demonstrated his enormous talent to criticize, always in a
humorous way, the current state of values. The documentary
Imprescindibles, directed by journalist Fernando Olmeda, pays tribute to
this brilliant screenwriter and shows his most human version through
testimonies from people who knew and worked with him. Spanish novelist,
film director and screenwriter David Trueba will guide us through the works
of the great Azcona.
