With the presence of director Mar Coll and screenwriter Valentina Viso
Mar Coll and Valentina Viso are the best possible news for Capicua in this edition of the REC. Twenty years have passed since the presentation of the short film “La última polaroid” by Mar Coll, and we are premiering in Tarragona “Salve María”, one of the most fascinating films of 2024. Held in Locarno and Valladolid, the collaboration between Mar Coll and Valentina Viso takes on a new dimension here. Having adapted the novel Las madres no, by Katixa Aguirre, Mar Coll’s cinema delves into a genre that unfolds through an immersive and subjective staging. An ability to travel through diverse places to retell what is at the essence of her cinema.
This is one of the great strengths of this tireless filmmaker: always being at the service of her stories and characters. Perhaps this is the authorial path that requires the most character: loyalty to a world and to oneself. Until its ultimate consequences. Until finding the most intimate and pure part of her own story.
