Trip to the Moon

A work of fiction based on an original script for cinema by Frederico García Lorca, the Spanish poet assassinated by the Fascists at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, 1936... For a period of time, Lorca was part of the group formed by Luis Buñuel and S. Dalí, at the Residencia de Estudiantes of Madrid, the seedbed of Spanish modern culture in the ´30s. Innovation and Surrealism made the three artists friends, but they soon moved apart... Buñuel and Dalí produced “Le Chien Andalou” (The Andalusien Dog) and this title was supposed to be a denigrating allusion to Lorca himself (he was Andalusian). Lorca, distant from Buñuel and Dalí, never saw the film, but he wrote “Trip to the Moon”, never filmed until now, 100 years after Lorca´s birthday. The images are inspired in what is supposed to be the world of the Spanish poet. A case to discuss, really, with Lorca...
