All the letters. Filmed Correspondence in Barcelona
Until the 19th of February, 2012 the Center for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona exhibits “All the letters. Filmed Correspondence”, which addresses the issue of communication between filmmakers by using film as a support resource to the epistolary relationship. The exhibition is curated by George Ball and is produced by the CCCB, Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco in Mexico, the Spanish Cultural Action and La Casa Encendida in Madrid with the collaboration of the Generalitat de Catalunya. All letters is an experience that brings together some correspondence work framed in filmmaking. This is an experimental communication format that takes place between directors, despite being located far away geographically. Their connection lies in the willingness to share ideas and thoughts on everything that inspire their work and provide new insights into the language of film. In the dialog through this correspondence experience, the directors who are part of this exhibition raise their views, where it is possible to find similarities and differences. All this dialogue is organized around a mutual interest environment, with important reflections on each of the correspondences. Among the epistolary exchanges are the filmmakers: Jose Luis Guerin from Barcelona, who exchanges work with Jonas Mekas from New York, Isaki Lacuesta from Girona, with Naomi Kawase from Nara, Alberto Serra from Banyotes, with Lisandro Alonso from Buenos Aires, Victor Erice from Madrid with Abbas Kiarostami from Tehran, Jaime Rosales from Madrid with Wang Bing from Shaanxi and Fernando Eimbcke from Mexico City, with So Yong Kim from New York. Jose Luis Guerin is a film director. His filmography is mainly based on a poetic and reflective look on conflicting aspects...

Cartoon work of these renowned artists, was born perhaps with Leonardo Da Vinci, but cartoons have always existed from long before Leonardo´s sketches, and have been seen as an exaggeration of certain physical characteristics, such as an exaggerate appearance and a twisted body language to express in a grotesque way the political or social character or person who is drawn. Thus, the Metropolitan Museum has collected a large number of these works, many never exhibited before in any museum, making this exhibition unique and which started on September 13th and ends just past March 4th, 2012.
