Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero, received this morning at the Palace Hall historian and director of the Institute of Historical Research Cartagenero (INCIS), Luis Miguel Perez, producer and screenwriter, Primitivo Pérez, on the occasion of the presentation of the documentary Sinking Olite Castle: the last act of a tragedy.
He has also attended the meeting with the mayor of Cartagena, Alfonso Garcia, representing Murcia Integra Foundation, an organization that has contributed to this project.
Considered the greatest maritime tragedy of the Spanish coast, in the words of director INCIS, this documentary recreates a historical event happened in the port city on March 7, 1939, and which killed 1,500 people on board the vessel.
In an effort to humanize this event presents this documentary about an hour and a half, to paraphrase Primitive, whose importance and significance rests in the 9 real testimonies of the protagonists, which unfortunately can not be spectators of it because they have already died due to old age.
In turn, the first person narrative is supplemented with historical baggage and simple animation to comic mode that recreates narrated by the protagonists.
And, with these entertaining sequences is to break the classic structure of the voice, and make this historical fact, unknown to most, more attractive, he adds.
In addition, this documentary film chooses to several categories of the XXVIII edition of the Goya Awards given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Spain, whose nominations will be announced in January 2014.
