SCREENING OF 'MURALS' (MURALES) DOCUMENTARY

In 2010 Montana Colors collaborated with la Fundació Miró in the collective expo MURALES, one of their four annual showings.

Thursday January 20^th, at 7:30 pm, in the Miró foundation auditorium (max. occp. 200), you´ll have the opportunity to watch a documentary directed by Pilar Pérez Solano and produced by Transit Producciones which covers the different contemporary mural artists during.

Murales shows the artists in their home towns and their different life-styles while they tell all about how they got along during the few weeks at the Fudanció preparing for the show.

Through this documentary you´ll get to the know the artists better and be able to debunk the myth of the typical unaccessible artist. The participants in the documentary exchanged stories and know-how and were able to communicate without even speaking the same language.

“There were classic moments,” says the director of the movie, “ moments like when Brian Rea tried to tell the Soninke women that his job consisted of flying saucers and U.F.Os, and the women looked at him and nodded. What the heck would they know about flying saucers?… we kept getting asked. Or when Sakarin, an artist from Thailand, told us about how the color red represents the sky for buddhists. And when the Soninke women discovered the long and straight ruler that Lothar Götz worked with and tried to use it to do their thing…”

The documentary was selected by the Festival Seminci, a week long film festival in Valladolid, Spain, and will be shown to the public for the first time in Barcelona.
