El retablo de las maravillas. Apuntes para una película sobre el "Quijote"

Filmmaker and lecturer Guillermo G. Peydró (Madrid, 1981) is the guest director for the third edition of Vessels of communication (Rewriting and story transfer in the Hispanic World). El retablo de las maravillas. Apuntes para una película sobre el Quijote (2021) is his fourth audiovisual work, a quarantine film with lies, fictions, post-truths and alterations of lockdown memories. His works have been screened in places such as the Louvre Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum and Bard College. Peydró will talk about his writing process and the intertexual and intemedial references in his novels. This talk will follow a screening of the film.

Vessels of communication (Vasos comunicantes) is a project led by Dr Carmen Herrero within the Film, Languages and Media in Education (FLAME) research group at Manchester Metropolitan University that seeks to reflect on literary, artistic and filmic intertextuality through the reflections of novelists, playwrights, poets, film and television directors, creators of comics and video games. Their voices and works will guide the exploration of the relationships between audiovisual, literary and digital culture, and illustrate the sources, influences, traditions, imaginings, processes and practices that feed the enriching metamorphosis of stories in print and on screens in the Spanish and Latin American world. The project also considers how to engage students of Spanish with these creations, in collaboration with the Film in Language Teaching Association (FILTA).

This project is produced in collaboration with Consulate of Spain in Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University, FLAME and FILTA.
