Abstract

Interview with Albert Serra in which the filmmaker addresses both the constitutive features of his work and his relationship with the tasks related to film direction (production) and the international spheres of promotion and film exhibition (the festivals). The interview goes over his career, from the first global success (Honor de cavalleria) to future artistic projects to be premiered. Taking aesthetics as a starting point, Serra examines the nature of his films, considering it the heir of the artistic postulates of modernity and placing it in the current transnational panorama of auteur cinema.
