After attending a concert in Jerusalem by the Indian classical musicians Hari Prasad Chaurasia and Zakir Hussain, he became interested in Indian music, which brought him into contact with Qawwali.

The film is the love story of two famous Italian writers of the early 20th century, Sibilla Aleramo and Dino Campana. Sibilla’s mother committed suicide when she was in her teens. Her abusive husband forced her to part with her only child. Her unhappy teens and early adulthood, does not make Sibilla fragile and confused – instead, she is a charming and independent woman in her forties. After drifting in and out of brief but intense relationships, she meets the much younger Dino. An engrossing love affair follows, where the intensity of passion, gives way to a consuming fire that extinguishes that which it creates. |

Four friends living in Diamante, a beautiful suburb of Calabria, decide to make a film and in the process turn life in the quiet village upside down. The village band, the cynical guru, the bartender, the aunts still waiting to be noticed by the professor of English and the parish priest, all get involved in the high energy, magic and simplicity with which the boys aspire to project the present and their dream of a different future in their film. A well known star generously agrees to work for them, and when he arrives for the shooting, the boys along with the entire village prepare a great feast in his honour – the real and true binge. |

Photo journalist Upin is sent to Purulia district, near Kolkata, to cover a story on the exploitation of tribal communities. Here he sees Gangor, a tribal woman, who in his eyes is the epitome of ancient Indian beauty. He photographs her breastfeeding her child, and publishes it with his article on the exploitation of tribal woman. The film is about what happens in their respective lives after the publication of the article and the photograph. The photographer’s obsession with the rural beauty triggers off a chain of violent events that end in tragedy. Upin unwittingly becomes a part of the very violence he wishes to end. |

From "The Gardener" by Tagore, the Spanish artist José Luis Seara explores an interesting combination of his paintings of nature with a light installation, creating an evocative and poetic atmosphere close to the text of the Indian writer.
José Luis Álvarez Seara is a Spanish artist who has been involved in different artistic expressions since 1975. With a wide variety of painting techniques, Seara has participated in numerous exhibitions both at national and international level (XV Bienal de Cerveira, Portugal 2009; Contemporary art Museum in Salvador de Bahia, Brasil 2004; Art Action Field Kodra, Greece 2003; MIART, Italy 2001). However, Seara´s versatility in composition goes beyond the traditional art form of painting, leading him to be also involved in cinema, having participated in various Spanish films as art director, propmaster, etc.
In this exhibition, Seara explores an interesting combination of his natural vegetation paintings and an innovative lighting installation. The enchanted ambiance allows the visitor to discover how night looks like in Seara´s garden, a garden looked after and inspired by an eternal Gardener: Tagore´s words mingle with Seara´s leaves in perfect harmony. |
