,” is developing an adaptation of Manuel Chaves Nogales’ short story collection “A sangre y fuego,” now considered by some in Spain as the best portrayal by a Spaniard of its ghastly Spanish Civil War.
Written over 1936-37 by Chaves Nogales in reaction to what he called “the stupidity and cruelty which lorded over Spain” during the Spanish Civil War, practiced by both extreme right and extreme left, “A sangre y fuego” takes in nine different stories. The director spoke in conversation at the festival with Spanish journalist Gerardo Sánchez, director of the La 2 program Días de Cine and Charo Ramos, a journalist and coordinator of the cycle.
He added: “Watching began to make me realize that I was much less interested in reality than in cinema, and around it I articulated my reality, I found a refuge. I don’t remember a moment when I decided to become a film director. It was always there, it was a total vocation.”
