2024 - 69th Edition

Turismo de guerra

Kikol Grau
Spain
 - 2024
Unbribable in his practice of an ever-subversive cinema, Kikol Grau (Las más macabras de las vidas, Los demenciales chicos acelerados...) on this occasion sets aside his work with archive material to become our guide on a tour of the spaces of historical memory in Spain. A tour that highlights how the recollection of horror generates a tourism industry that contradicts the historical significance of these places. With the always timely use of dialectical montage, the contrapuntal use of music and the precise doses of chaos, Grau delves into the contradictions, paradoxes and cracks in the official discourses surrounding our recent past, while at the same time pointing to the new forms of war that threaten our immediate present.
Kikol Grau

He was born in Barcelona in 1971 and graduated in History from the University of Barcelona. After shooting ‘Objetivo Gadafi’ in 2014, he filmed a trilogy about Basque punk from the 80s, which includes ‘Las más macabras de las vidas’, ‘Inadaptados’ and ‘No Somos Nada’. After filming ‘Magnicidios españoles y Poe’ in 2017, he approached the fantastic in ‘Moctezuma- Grau. Descendencia mortal’, which premiered in Gijón before Seville selected ‘La Transacción’ and ‘Histeria de España’. With his trilogy ‘Los demenciales chicos acelerados’ he portrayed the punk scene during the Transition in Barcelona, Euskadi and Madrid. ‘War Tourism’ (2024) is his first film consisting of original, non-archival footage, ant its filming has been funded by a Contrapicada fellowship and the Corte Final award from DocumentaMadrid.
