Mario Camus: "The Academy would have to be on permanent war footing".
Cantabrian filmmaker Mario Camus, who will receive Honorary Goya February 2011 in the next edition of the awards, says that only part of the Film Academy for "fifteen days or a month" while presiding Fernando Rey. Has said, this is because he has always seemed that this "emptying of tasks, even though" should be always at war. "
"I was fifteen, star trek online gold, days or a month at the Academy, when he was director Fernando Rey. No explanation, point me because I asked Fernando to be surprised that I was not. Instead of explaining a prrred roll me about my reasons for Academy, but spend time and thought that was in contradiction with myself, "detailed in a meeting with journalists at the, ff14 gil, headquarters of this institution.
In any case, has clarified that it has "nothing against the Academy", but does not understand "why have so few tasks, like doing an act as Goya once a year." "A whole academy for all movies together to make this event, which is an imitation almost modeled on the Oscars, instead of having other activities or more in many other, eve isk, things that affect the profession … I always thought it had been a very unnecessary, "he stressed.
"Is there to be all the world together, or in a place, to mark the day we sit in a seat and we dress up and there is no activity until the following year. With the many problems that exist and that agonist be so complicated and film, the Academy is pending only one night a year seems a nonsense. So I never part except those months, "he explained.
For Camus, in any case, the Goya of Honor is "an extraordinary compliment," and has said he thinks every team he's had during his career to receive. At the same time, assured that it is also a "latazo", since retired and lives in a village and has "no desire" to move, but acknowledged that it understood that it is "silly" theirs.
A script without financing
Changing third, has acknowledged that in some cases has made the movie wanted, but in others also which have been accepted by economic needs. Also, has revealed that he wrote a script for two years to make his film number thirty, but can not find funding to carry out. "They are two stories going on in Santander, one of ancient love again, and another story, also of love, but more simple and elemental rrred to two immigrants, an Ecuadorian and a Russian, has advanced.
Iron has been removed to this situation by stating that "filmmaking in this country is always an adventure of Cyclops, complicated", while recalled that "cinema is a very large group with thousands of people who do not work" and that nobody talks, because, for example, politicians only talk about them to ask "why not remove the subsidies."
"So I think at the Academy, which would have to be in a permanent war footing, with this situation in which the film is as well not exist. And now comes the invasion of the series, as Americans to be offered to American ridiculous prices. And that will make young people who are studying film is another mystery, "he said.
"We've never been in any payroll, lived for years pendinga telephone, we have never had a year or even covered, and that has merit. The main merit of this profession is to survive, and then it turns out that one has time to be customized, or have had opportunities to make themselves known and created a style, so much the better, "he argued.
Camus was recommended to be "humble" in this profession, and stressed that the way to Hollywood, "with carpets and much talk of glamorous" seems "a horrible thing that has little to do with the movies, and more with propaganda. " So has ensured that this part of the film does not "interested in anything" and even puts a "bad mood."
The filmmaker has refused to mention his favorite actors in his career, and has merely stated that these "single target, they know their trade, and 70 percent of the address is in the choice of paper." It has attributed "much luck" in a race in which "sometimes" has been successful and others has been "a fantastic wallop."
Neither wanted to choose between his films, but has said laughingly that he traveled "out there, France or Italy," when they said your name is not present, but was the director of 'The Holy Innocents'. That itself has acknowledged that if he had to say something, perhaps selecting "a chapter of 'Curro Jimenez' or something like that."
"I can not stand the smell of popcorn"
Camus also pointed to just go to the movies because they have changed their location in large cities and because it supports "the smell of popcorn or the gentleman who is drinking Coca Cola." Even so, if you see many movies of Spanish filmmakers, "albeit belatedly and bought on DVD"
On youth, said to have "a different way of doing things", eg "now all make horror movies because a film made money." He stressed that viewers have the same age, "they are virtuous on the way to handle the technical means", despite which no one wanted to emphasize, "because there are many."
On the other hand, criticized the dubbing of foreign films, mainly American, which has described as "concession that Spanish cinema can not afford." In his view, ours is a film "so small, colonized and absorbed if given this is like the end of its existence," although he pointed out that this is no problem now, but "long ago."
According stressed, this can be solved in a "drastic delete, or gradually, perhaps putting tariffs, but can not be granted to speak our competitors who are in the market, because that's like suicide." He added that he thought that "when there was a drive in movie people would face face this problem, which is where her heart on the part of the question," but regretted that it is not so.
