InsuMisa [disobedient]

Screening

On June 29, 2023, in order to commemorate the Stonewall Inn Revolt that took place on June 28, 1969 in New York, and which represents the birth of the LGTBQI+ movement, a participatory choral ceremony in three parts took place at the La Posta Foundation, in Plaza de la Santa Cruz and in the nearby streets in Valencia:


The performance “Voices to the Wind”

Screening

Partly making of and partly chronicling the performance “Voices to the Wind” that took place on the opening day of the exhibition “Ecology, the necessary evil”, by Janice Martins Appel and Domingo Mestre (2 Headed Snake), it is the video made by the audiovisual students of the Juan Comenius Education Center in Valencia: Jasmina Iranzo, Edu Morales and Jonathan Barbosa, coordinated by Domingo Arroyas.


The Tree, the Forest and the 2-Headed Snake

Screening

Although normally, when there is a video projection, ―in this case "The tree, the forest and the 2-Headed Snake", within the multimedia installation "Ecology: the necessary evil", by Janice Martins Appel and Domingo Mestre―, it is offered after the exhibition in the room through the web, this time we are going to anticipate, because there are some aspects that it is convenient for the public to know beforehand, because they relate all the works on display.


The Upper Valley of the Río Negro (North-Patagonia) an entropic landscape

Screening

The Barda del Desierto Museum, that we have had the honor of presenting at La Posta Foundation, by Andrea Beltramo, is an open-air museum, in which works specially designed for that place are carried out and are influenced by its characteristics, as well as artistic residences and educational activities, it is located in the Alto Valle del Río Negro region, North Patagonia, Argentina. It is located near the place where the Neuquén and Limay rivers converge to give rise to the Negro River. A river that, together with the Colorado, a little further north, constituted for centuries an internal border in the emerging Argentine nation. We are, then, in a border territory, in many ways, and a landscape that shows us, like an open book, Argentina's past.


Retrospective of Norma van Elburg-Jessurun. The Making Of

Screening

The video shows the process of researching and preparing the exhibition "Retrospective" of Suriname-born Dutch artist Norma van Elburg-Jessurun (1938). Includes images of Curaçao, Mexico City, Guatemala, Santiago de Chile and El Moralet, Alicante.


Exspiravit Mundi

Screening

"Exspiravit Mundi" is the result of research carried out at the La Posta Foundation on November 5, 2022 and which is based on the research of Friedrich Jürgenson. It is part of the exhibition of the VidyaLab collective (Iván Albalate and David Trujillo) entitled "Daimonic Encounters", a commitment to go beyond the manifest through the recovery of traditional techniques from the field of the paranormal, using the exhibition space as a field of action, they make contact with the invisible of the place and testify through audio and image everything that remains hidden to us from the most basic human perceptions.


Monot. The documentary

Screening

The young filmmaker from Elche Andrea Alborch, with her clean, curious, daring and respectful gaze, has managed to exceed expectations with the making of this essay-documentary short film that we now make available on our website. His debut feature "Seventeen and a half", made as the final project of the Degree in Audiovisual Communication at the Miguel Hernández University, used a slow, simple and markedly generational realistic fiction language, which has earned her his entry into the “Short Films Comunitat Valenciana 2022” of the IVC [Valencian Institute of Cinematography] and its admission to the Cinema Jove and Filmadrid festivals. The passage, therefore, from the fictionalized reality of her first short to the auteur documentary of this second piece, has been a natural transition in which the director demonstrates not only technical solvency but also an admirable capacity for communicative empathy and passionate immersion in the phenomenon to portray.


Creative documentary: cinema in the museum

Screening

The most striking thing about Behind the Tin Sheets_presence is the contrast between what you see and what you hear. On the one hand, the images portray the lives of immigrants working on the construction of a subway line in Bangalore (India). And what, in principle, seems like a documentary work on their living conditions and their uprooting, when we start to listen to the audio a displacement occurs that takes us to another state, because we are told stories in the first person that speak of dreams, ghosts and love stories.


Queer capital gain

Screening

Gus van Sant traveled to Rome for a 12-day shoot and in the end 7 episodes of “Ouverture of something that never ended” were recorded. It might seem that it is a strange encounter with Alessandro Michele, but the fact is that there was something foreboding in My Own Private Idaho (1991), the most celebrated film by Gus van Sant, when Mike (River Phoenix) and Scott (Keanu Reeves ) travel to the Italian countryside passing through Rome, in search of Mike's mother
