Unas Fotos En La Ciudad De Sylvia

New Cinema From Spain Film Unas Fotos en la ciudad de Sylvia 4 pm Saturday, June 21, 2008 Remis Auditorium Unas Fotos en la ciudad de Sylvia by José Luis Guerín (Spain, 2007, 67 min., video). This outstanding accompaniment to In the City of Sylvia (description shown above) offers a stunning compilation of images recorded by José Luis Guerín in Strasbourg, while searching for the traces of a brief encounter some years earlier with a young woman named Sylvia. With this film, Guerín deconstructs the moving image, reducing it to its origins: a sequence of still pictures. All the while, he fills it with references to such film pioneers and great masters such as Hitchcock, Bresson, and Godard.
