Until the 6th of November, you can enjoy the ninth edition of Beefeater In-Edit 2011 in Barcelona, or what we know as the International Musical Documentary Film Festival in Barcelona, which this year will delight the crowd with the presentation of 54 documentary films, of which 45 are premieres.
Despite this being the ninth Beefeater In-Edit in Barcelona, it´s the festival´s 24th edition around the world, made for the people who enjoy this particular film genre in which great filmmakers have worked, such as Murray Lerner, director of the film ´From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China´, to whom they will pay a deserved tribute.
This Festival has given origin to the second edition of the Beefeater In-Edit International Musical Documentary Market, which goes from the 3rd to the 6th of November. In this space created for producers, distributors, programmers and television and film professionals from all over the world. you can find the documentaries which were presented last year at the Beefeater In-Edit Festival and the ones which will premiere in this edition.
The screening locations are the same ones as the 2010 edition, among which we find the cinemas Aribau Multisalas Sala 5 and Aribau club Sala 2. Also, the Hotel Pulitzer and the Hotel Regina will be ready for the press meetings. The jury of this contest is formed by Lidia Zimmermann, Juanjo Javierre, Eddie Berg, Brad Adamson and Álex Navarro.
In the programme of national premieres of the Official Section, we find the documentary ´Jaime Urrutia: The strength of habits´, which runs for 115 minutes and we se the route of this composer, musician and key figure of the ´movida madrileña´. His music, the insubordination to normality and the boom of pop coming from the bands Ejecutivos Agresivos to Gabinete Caligari, can be seen in the documentary.
´Next Music Station: Morocco´ by Fermín Muguruza who gathers the musical scene with the Moroccan singer Oum, who describes the keys with which flamenco, gnawa or houara music is written until it reaches rap music.
´Papagordo. In the house of Raimundo Amador´ by Laura Llamas and Víctor Morilla is a 60 minute documentary which shows us the everyday life of the great flamenco guitarist and composer Raimundo Amador.
The history of the musical documentary is as long as the film documentary. Its emphasis is looking at society and its phenomenons through a particular musical route which has generated a trend in cinematography, which today enjoys success among spectators. Hence that Beefeater In-Edit in Barcelona is an important meeting among filmmakers and documentary makes because it allows them to exhibit their works and to see the new trends which make of this genre one of the favourites in film.
