A CONVERSATION BETWEEN CARLOS SAURA AND RICHARD PEÑA
Carlos Saura- a classic within the scope of Spanish cinema, and considered one of Europe’s most elite directors of today- has been making award-winning films since the 1950s. His cinema is one of nonconformity, adventure, risk and experimentation- offering new perspectives of Spanish society and its many cultural iterations. In addition to filmmaking, Saura is a writer, photographer, draftsman, painter and director of operas, ballets, musicals and plays.
Richard Peña was Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Director of the New York Film Festival 1988-2012. Beginning in 1992, he organized with the Spanish Ministry of Culture the annual “Spanish Cinema Now” series at Lincoln Center. A frequent lecturer internationally on a wide variety of film topics, he is a Professor of Film Studies at Columbia University, where he specializes in film theory and international cinema.
