Crowd-funding campaign for FRANCO'S SETTLERS continues...


SHIPPING OF THE PLEDGES
Please be patient. Due to the summer break and due to the complicated administrative processing we won't be able to ship the silkscreen prints, t-shirts and other items before the beginning of August. We are a two man/woman show and not a large organization. Thank you.

THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER – THE NEW CAMPAIGN BEGINS
The filmmakers would like to express their gratitude to all supporters. Without your help the campaign wouldn't have been this successful. Nevertheless we are still lacking more than 30,000 Euros to be able to complete the film. Therefore we would like to continue with the campaign. The pledges (Daniel Richter silkscreen prints, T-shirts, etc.) will be exactly the same. The only difference is that now you pay the contribution directly to the filmmakers. See payment details below.

ROUND TABLE IN OCTOBER
The campaign was not only a success financially but also in terms of creating awareness. This is something extraordinary for such a political film. On top of that, we came closer to our idea of organizing a round table with historians, politicians and protagonists of the film. The well respected Friedrich Ebert Foundation in conjunction with the filmmakers will organize a round table in October of 2012. More information on that will be available at http://www.playloud.org.

SCREENINGS OF THE FILM
We had the idea to bring back this film to where the real people are. We would like to break away from the traditional way of showing films and instead screen the film at independent movie houses, cultural centers, schools, universities, at offices of human rights groups, neighborhood associations, associations for the Recovery of Historical Memory, in towns and villages: Anywhere where people want us to show the film. So far the feedback was a bit uncertain. Please go ahead and contact us so we can organize a screening at your local pub and afterwards have a discussion in person and not via Facebook. Let's do what artists did during the 2nd Republic when they traveled all over Spain with their "Pedagogic Missions". Please let us know if you wish us to present the film in your town.

We owe you our gratitude because it is you who believe in the project. From now on we will inform you directly about the progress of the project. If you have questions, doubts or ideas please feel free to drop us a line at info@playloud.org or check on a regular basis at http://www.playloud.org.

Christian Cloos (commissioning editor for ZDF) about the film 'Donna Summer: Hot Stuff'

Image
  Christian Cloos (commissioning editor for ZDF) writes: I really liked the film. Donna as a phone ghost, out of necessity, worked well, almost like it was an intentional way of raising questions of identity. Her death must have been a horror for you. The film offers great archive material and good interviewees (the sister was fantastic, as were all the others). It is very carefully researched, tightly narrated, intelligent and neatly edited – it’s a joy. It’s a continually surprising journey, both in its content and form, through the seventies and eighties. The use of the photos is brilliant. They become like exhibits about pop history, and when you introduce other material, we accept the poor technical quality as texture. It’s great how respectful you were, for example in how you introduced all the musicians involved in the single cover. It would be great if this were the start of an ongoing collaboration between you and Arte on more films about music and culture and you could ma...

In a Village Named After Franco, Spain Is Struggling to Overcome the Fascist Past

Image
  An interview with Lucía Palacios and Dietmar Post (by Alex Alvarez Taylor for Jacobin ) One of the three hundred settlements founded by Franco's regime, the village of Llanos del Caudillo is still today named in homage to the dictator. Villagers' nostalgia for his regime reflects Spain's failure to reckon with its past — and the ongoing struggle to gain recognition for fascism's victims. The village of Llanos del Caudillo, in Spain’s Castilla La Mancha region, is one of three hundred “colonies,” or settlements, christened by the Francisco Franco’s dictatorship in the decades after the Civil War. Its historic link to his regime is still today visible in its name: Llanos — “plains” — del Caudillo — “of the leader.” Established in the 1950s by the agriculture ministry’s National Colonization Institute, the settlements reflected the Franco regime’s disastrous policy of economic “self-sufficiency,” beginning with the drive to repopulate or “recolonize” devastated rural ...

La fama es voraz. Un documental sobre Donna Summer.

Image
  “Tagespiegel” (diario alemán): La fama es voraz. Engulle a sus víctimas en cuerpo y alma. El documental "Donna Summer - Hot Stuff" comienza con escenas de un programa de entrevistas de los años 80. El presentador quiere saber qué piensa la cantante de los estereotipos que circulan sobre ella. ¿Diva de la música disco? ¿Reina del sexo? Ella se limita a sonreír con un ligero sarcasmo. Donna Summer saltó a la fama a mediados de los años setenta con sus éxitos "Love To Love You Baby" y "I Feel Love", en los que, acompañada del sonido futurista de los sintetizadores Moog del productor Giorgio Moroder, cantaba versos jadeantes y gemidos lujuriosos. La etiqueta “reina sexy del disco” le acompañó hasta su muerte. Un crítico de la revista Time contó 22 orgasmos en "Love To Love You". En la portada del álbum Donna aparecía vistiendo un minúsculo camisón. "Me sentía como un producto", confiesa Summer a los autores de la película. "Como una ...
