PROGRAMS
- #01.Born in Flames (27/09/2019) - "Born in Flames" is a film shot over five years by Lizze Borden on a shoestring budget and released in 1983. The starting point of the film is a concrete and, in this day and age, very apt question: what would happen if there was a political movement to the left and women still had a problem? Lizzie Borden invited different women to participate in the film, among them musicians, activists, filmmakers, journalists, artists... who we will listen to in the radio programme. Those who were active in the feminist struggle of the 80s and fighting in the streets. "Born in Flames" is also the title of an album by the band Red Crayola, from which Borden took the title of her film. The song, which we will hear frequently throughout this programme, will become the theme tune for the radio show. In this first Phoenix Ragazza programme we will talk about the film in a different way. On the one hand, we will talk about the film: its director, its shooting process, its reception, its restoration and its re-release. But above all, we want to delve into the multiple messages and forms of this project. To do so, we will compare the film with the current situation from the collective point of view. In this programme we will bring together different voices, giving us the form of a collage: we will be accompanied by the Egia women's brigade, the KRII collective and Arantza Santestaban.
- #02. Spell Reel (22/10/2019) - In the second session of Phoenix Ragazza we will take the movie "Spell Reel" as a starting point. A collective film created by the Portuguese artist and filmmaker Filipa César. On the axis of the proyect is the archive of the militant cinema of Guinea-Bissau: images and sounds that show the war of independence against the Portuguese colony (1963-1974). When the file was recovered in 2011, it was in a very bad state, just like the country's own history. What to do with an image and sound file that reaches your hands? Itziar Orbegozo, Maddi Barber, Mirari Echávarri and Tamara García will be the guests who will answer this question.
- #03. Lucrecia Martel. La Cienaga (26/11/2019) - Unmade beds, wrinkled sheets, muddy feet on the bed, a phone ringing. Brothers and sisters running around the house, the last summer days of a sad couple who hate each other. Outside, there is a viscous pool, with green and dark waters, half abandoned. On the edge of it, hammocks that have known better times, piled up in a messy row. The atmosphere is heavy, a hot and humid day that precedes storm. In this third program of Phoenix Ragazza, we talked about the movie "La Ciénaga", by the Argentine filmmaker Lucrecia Martel. As the film is linked to literature, we propose the following writers and filmmakers living around us - and to which we greatly appreciate - to perform this exercise: to tell us stories of horror and fantasy of his childhood, as if we were on one of those beds of the film, telling us summer stories. Thus, we will have Aintzane Usandizaga, Kimia Kamvari and Maren González.
- #04. Marguerite Duras. Le Camion (17/12/2019) - Silence. And suddenly, music. A shady and closed place. The curtains are drawn. The lamps, on. Carpets. Mirrors. It is a room. Through a white curtain, daylight. The place, therefore, is protected from light. A round table in the center. Next to it, two seated characters: Gérard Depardieu and Marguerite Duras. Manuscripts on the table. It means that the story of the movie will be read. The two will read the story.
