Call to School
3m

Llamada a la escuela is a piece that deconstructs the scene in Luis Buñuel’s 1933 documentary Las Hurdes: tierra sin pan filmed in a rural school. To enlarge the space devoted to imagination and potential, the author sets archive footage against the audio background of Paco Rabal’s narrative in the original sound version to highlight other contemporary realities: the innovative classroom lessons delivered by two teachers in villages in the region.
