Today, at the Tabakalera-International Centre for Contemporary Culture, the multidisciplinary filmmaker and artist Marina Palacio presented her exhibition [Film Not Found_Try Again], a photography project made up of fictitious film posters whose protagonists are people who work for several of the San Sebastian Festival departments or who have connections to the event due to belonging to the movie sector.
Until October 31, the second floor of Tabakalera, immediately beside the entrance to the Festival offices, will house this show of fake film posters which, by manipulating images and text, convey the reality (in whole or part) of their protagonists, who also talk about themselves in short texts occupying the place usually reserved for the credits.
Curators and restorers, projectionists, a photographer and a driver, a composer and a producer, as well as staff from the Production, Industry, Public Relations and Web & IT departments, play the lead part in these posters of films that never have and never will exist ("non-films" in the term coined by Palacio), meaning that they can contain thousands of stories at the same time. Furthermore, each image is complemented with a short story to be read online and signed by Jesús Palacio, the artist's father and collaborator.
“What better than the Festival’s 70th anniversary to pay homage, through these occasional actor and actresses who now place themselves before the camera, to the hundreds of people who, behind the spotlights, have been essential to keeping the Festival running so well year after year”, said Marino Palacio.
A graduate in Fine Arts from the Complutense University in Madrid, Marina Palacio (San Sebastian, 1996) completed the post-graduate course in Filmmaking at the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (EQZE). Her short film Ya no duermo (2020) was part of Kimuak and premiered in the San Sebastian Festival’s Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section before participating in some thirty national and international competitions. Among the awards it harvested are the Biznaga for Best Short Film at the Malaga Festival and Best Ibero-American Short Film at Shorts Mexico. She is currently working on her first feature film, Y así seguirán las cosas / And Thus It Will Go On, which she started to develop at the Noka Mentoring programme in 2020 and which participated in the Ikusmira Berriak residences the following year.
