Audiovisuals
The main objective of the audiovisual programs of Museo Reina Sofía is to offer a programming which reflects the plurality of subject matter and the diversity of vantage points in the field of avant-garde film and video creation, both in Spain and internationally.
Seeking to attract a wide and diverse audience, promoting experimental video and film works, as well as performances, the Museum is committed to the crossroads between the production of young authors and that of recognized artists, within a free program removed from the commercial circuits.
Specifically, the cycles and programs offered to the public follow two general curatorial lines, focused on:
- The presentation of the main contemporary audiovisual tendencies.
- Retrospectives of authors and movements of key importance for understanding and disseminating experimental cinema and video production.
At the same time, and as usual when making the works more accessible to the public, the Museum presents talks and presentations by the artists themselves and the curators of the programs.

The film This is Not a Film goes beyond reflection about the nature of cinema and becomes an act of civil disobedience in the field of filmmaking. Sentenced to 20 years of no filming by the Iranian court, Jafar Panahi shows us his daily life under house arrest through the eyes of another filmmaker, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb. The film is a document about artistic freedom, but also about the idea, time and function of cinema.

How to give feminist film its own voice against the conventions of classic film and how to maintain the subaltern nature of this voice? This series looks at the impact of feminism on film theory and criticism, covering stereotypes and gender roles, the deconstruction of the power that underlies images and the overcoming of sexual difference as a binary opposition. It aims to construct a history different from that of official film history.

¡Para saber, hay que imaginarse! [To know, we must imagine]
Type of activity: Audiovisual series
Date: April 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2012
Place: Sabatini Building, Auditorium
|
This series is about imagination as a speculative faculty that moves memory, ideation and subject formation.
Its point of departure is collaborative audiovisual production as an experience to configure critical imaginaries; the ways images linked to thinking processes are transmitted and received; and (co)learning as a strategy for critical education. The series itself is the product of the research Subtramas during research visits at the Museum in 2011.
