This week, the expected plan of cultural rights was presented, one of the stellar measures of the Ministry of Culture. There are 146 measures to demonstrate that culture is a right, not a privilege; And put an end to many spaces that are in access to it on the floor and class gaps, but also geographical. How many great works or directors are not enough for us, because in their places they not only cannot study an artistic career, but also because they could not even find the referents that open their eyes.
I said it recently Belen Funets when we interviewed her for her excellent film TurtlesField She, the daughter of her mother, who worked in a factory of pants and a working father, how was she going to believe that she wants to become a director? Of course, the right to culture makes it more democratic, but also breaks a vicious circle that makes them always tell us stories. We want views that we usually do not see. Voices that we usually do not hear.
I think that many times, if I worked today, I wrote if I were born in a place where my access to culture and films would be almost zero. I was lucky – in many things – to be born in Valladolid, with cinemas in the center and the Sinchi Paul, who served as a cinema education for many children, who, like me, began to look for other types of authors who were not on the most commercial screens. But what if I was born in the city of devastated Spain?
The plan was presented after the listening process and now begins to be completed. 146 measures and 79 million euros of the budget and two dates established: 2027 and 2030. And there are great doubts: can he realize it before the end of the legislative body? Will he get the necessary budget? And by placing us at best, and that they will receive it, will the next thing will be so clear that culture is correct, and not by privilege?
Listening to what many people are on the right attitude for the help of the cultural sector – and cinema, in particular, are afraid to think about what they can do with this plan. We hope that, as it was assumed, that the hiking that comes out over time, and this makes many of the films that we recommend this week to cover all provinces so that everyone can challenge the warmth with the same cultural capabilities.
Three songs, Francisco Hamiz
These are my musical recommendations for a week. Remember that you can listen to them in our playlist on Spotify, where there are also previous weeks.
“Three wishes”, Leyra Martinez. After leaving Van Gogh, Leir Martinez did not stop monopolizing the headlines, neither for his interview, or for his next project, which becomes interesting thanks to his two achievements, still published. While my name is the song dedicated to their former group of the group, where indirect ones monopolized all the lyrics, this new single remembers its best moments in the ear of Van Gogh. It was as if Leir Martinez managed to restore the sound that he tried his best to get his old group in his last projects. The result is completely new, and the desire seems more than satisfied. Listen to this at Spotify.
“Part of my childhood is dying,” Adri. One of my great discoveries of the week is this topic of Adri, the Spanish and Mexican artist who lives in the United States and is almost unknown on the musical stage. With emotional letter, which has nothing to do with its fun production, Adri sings to those people who leave after they changed your life in the way. “Part of my childhood dies every time I lose someone, who matters to me,” the composer admits to the attractive choir of the song. The sound hides something so special that you do not want to stop listening to it on the loop. Listen to this at Spotify.
“Admission of adulthood” Cassandra Coleman. Born in Tennessee, this is another novice artist who should be opened. So much became so that he had just published his first song that he barely accumulates 90,000 listeners in Spotify, but he seems to be already showing his potential for the future. The singer is strong, because she managed to get Jack Antonoff in production, one of the most famous musicians from the moment when the greatest hits were awarded in what we were. This folk theme, which grows throughout the song, until it explodes by the end, is a tribute to growth, which is carried out as a result of the closure of the past. Listen to this at Spotify.
Three books by Francisco Hamiz
“Notes for Joan” Joan Didion (Random House). Joan Didion, the icon, which turned his duel into an essay masterpiece, returns to bookstores four years after his death with unpublished work, which should be carefully analyzed. Found after the death of an American author in furniture for serving a desktop computer, this book is a newspaper in which Didion describes sessions with his psychiatrist, and notes that she collects, turn to her husband John Gregory Dann. This is a relic for literature lovers, which was published on July 10 in bookstores in the simultaneous launch in Spain and the United States.
“The Nazis knew my name” Magda Hellinger, Maya Lee and David Bruster (Agylar). The feat of those who survived the tragedy of Auschwitz continues to be a repeating topic in the literature: looking back with history, allows us to better know the mistakes that were made in the past. This work is immersed in the experience of Magda Hellinger, from Slovakia, which was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, as well as almost a thousand women in the fact that it would be one of the first arriving Jewish women in a terrible Nazi rural area. His memoirs, already in bookstores.
“While everything is going well” Estela Sanchis (Kandaya). The literary debut of this Valencian writer becomes a reflection on violence and cruelty, about sick relationships and limits of proximity, as well as fiction and manipulations. The plot represents a young woman who attends an art residence that will be inspired; However, although there is a place in this place, a young woman approaches the abyss of her interior and other people, trying to find in art a legitimate way to violate the tension of the border of ethics, body and relationship. Already in bookstores.
Three films, Javier Tsurro
“Superman”. I still could not see Superman that James Gann made, and that he intends to revive the DC universe in cinemas, but I trust the Gann and I trust the criticism of Alberto Crown, which fell into this version, which says that he is as cheerful as politics. We hope that more and more filmmakers who care about both of their blockbusters, as Gann always did, which never disappointed.
‘Köln 75’. I did not know the story of Vera Brandes and did not know about the existence of Pianist Keit Jarrett, so I had a great time when I saw all the subtleties of a mythical performance in the film, which also reflects the social struggle of that time, and which John Magaro is one of the Protu. This is one of the actors that I like the most now, and I was able to talk to him.
“Three friends.” Usually, I communicate little with the cinema of Emmanuel Sea, but this time I enjoy the betrayal, lies and confusion of these friends. Mouret was defined as French Woody Allen, and when you see this film, you will understand perfectly.
Three planes for the weekend, Laura Garcia Higuers

Three exhibitions, Jordi Sabate

Fabular Landscapes. Manuel Borha-Ville, perhaps, is the name of the larger weight in the Spanish Museum. Before the director of the Rhine Art Center Sofia and currently super -consultant in Geneeritat de Catalunya, this Castellón is the RAM in our country of a strange and decolonial review of key reviews of the great collections of state museums.
A sample that has just been presented does not disappoint; This proposal, which goes from the central axis of classical art, which must be answered, to the periphery of the exhibition space, where the museologist extends answers to classical works in the form of works of contemporary artists. In total, 40 sentences in the key of contextualization, decolonization and interrogation of binary as a way of understanding identity.
‘Isidoro Valkarsel Medina. The movement of the idea. ” The Institute D’RT Modern Valencià (IVAM) holds until September 14 at the exhibition at the latest work of the artist Mursia Isidorzel Medina, the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 2007 and Velazquez in 2015.
