When César Abeytua started in 1991, times of creation in a TVE that had enjoyed decades without competition, a movie magazine without a presenter, dominated by the audiovisual language, lasting half an hour, she did not imagine that she was starting to direct a program that would make history.
That somewhat experimental space matured. He has had an uneven track record on the grid but his quality can never be doubted. Movie days turns 30 next October, but the celebration is already being prepared.
The San Sebastián Film Festival will be the setting where the documentary commemorating that marked birthday will be released on TVE. A documentary directed and made at the moment by Santiago Tabernero, one of the most restless filmmakers that the public channel has had.
Tabernero, by the way, is the mentor of another historical space in the film world, Spanish version. And another piece of information, if the pandemic had not been crossed on the way, The filmmaker he would have continued at the head of his program Sánchez and Carbonell, a rogue magazine devised for La 2, which once it had been fully scaled and scripted, was canceled from one day to the next in March 2020.
Then the director was responsible for filming the report that illustrated the delivery of the Donostia Award to the actor Viggo Mortensen at the San Sebastian Festival last year.
On this occasion, in the same setting and a year later, a jewel will be presented for couch potatoes and moviegoers. A montage with the best of thirty years of Film Days in very different formats. Therefore, there will be no shortage of the original criticisms of José Luis Guarner and Daniel Monzón, the hooligans full of intention to Antonio Gasset (perhaps the most remembered in other programs), the brainy fifteen-minute reports signed by Sergi Sánchez and Jordi Costa, or the different stages presented by figures of the stature of Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, Henar Álvarez or Elena S. Sánchez.
Movie days He walked every corner of the grid, sometimes with truly impossible schedules. When it didn’t exist rtve.es to the letter, the space reached viewers in the wee hours of the morning. With an added handicap. If there were live broadcasts on the second channel, a parliamentary debate, a tennis match or whatever, the accumulated delay caused it to be broadcast with a long delay, so that the videos that we had programmed at the agreed time did not record their signal .
Circumstances of other times that give added patina of television history to this veteran survivor.
