Cinema: Close Your Eyes (Cerrar los ojos)

Víctor Erice's films and María Zambrano's poetic philosophy cover common ground in their exploration of an inner gaze performed with closed eyes; and in their own sweeping portrayals of Segovia, both present in Erice's filmography —including in his recent film Cerrar los ojos— and in Zambrano’s life and works. Coming together to discuss these points are: Mercedes Miguel Borrás, director of the Master's Degree in Film, Communication and the Audiovisual Industry at the University of Valladolid; José Manuel Mouriño, essayist, researcher, filmmaker, and patron of the María Zambrano Foundation Audiovisual Poetics Laboratory; and Juan Carlos Gargiulo, architect, photographer and filmmaker, coordinator of the Film Studio at the Palacio Quintanar Centre for Design, Innovation and Culture.

Presented by Sheila Cremaschi, Director, Hay Festival and chosen by Forbes among the 75 Latina women to follow 2024, and Agustín García Matilla, Vice-Rector, María Zambrano Campus UVA (Segovia).
