Cualquiera puede apreciar sus decisivas aportaciones como actor, escritor y director de cine. Sin embargo, sólo unos pocos privilegiados conocen hasta qué punto Fernando, sentado en una silla, es capaz de convertir una charla en algo más que una charla. Esta película aspira a que esos privilegiados no sean tan pocos.
Tras la proyección, los directores de la película, David Trueba y Luis Alegre, mantendrán un coloquio y responderán a las preguntas del público.
David Trueba and Luis Alegre uncover Fernando Fernán-Gómez, an outstanding character who enriched Spanish culture with his work: actor, writer and television, theatre and cinema director. Fernán-Gómez is a giant of the Spanish 20th Century and an essential figure in Spain’s cultural heritage. The film screening and the Q&A will take place today at 6pm at Café Literario.
The story: La silla de Fernando is a documentary-conversation with Spanish actor Fernando Fernán-Gómez. The actor/director talks about his life: the civil war, his youth, Madrid nights, women and love and Franquism amongst other topics. His contribution as an actor, writer and cinema director is second to none. But only a few are lucky enough to discover the extent to which Fernando, sitting on a chair, is capable of turning a chat into something more meaningful. This film aspires to make these lucky few somewhat greater in number. After the screening there will be Q&A with directors David Trueba and Luis Alegre
