History spots - Terror Molins

The desire to play and I surprise of the Festival, always celebrating with enthusiasm its love for cinema, has always been something that has transpired in the video advertisements (spots) of each of its editions. And it has been so thanks to the artists who have created this spots, who with their talent and passion have gifted the festival community with small works of art; some more daring, others more referential, all great.

This section is therefore also a heartfelt and well-deserved tribute to all these people, part of the festival’s family. And especially, as it has to be, we want to highlight a specific figure, the incombustible Paco Ruiz, not only the architect of a large part of them (from 2006 to 2019) but also pioner, as he wmade the first one. If Paco printed a stamp, it was the uniqueness of each of them, always surprising in their disparity of approaches and treatments. With great quality, Paco also invented for posterity some of the festival’s mythical quotes, especially the motto “being different makes us unique” with which we recognize ourselves so much. And if Paco set the bar high, you can see below that the following artists knew how to continue making the history of the festival. Thank you very much to all, from our heart.

SHORT VERSIONS

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Beyond the usual tradition of paying tribute to films or particular themes, the 40 edition of the Festival was asking us for something trespassing these concepts: We wanted to pay tribute to cinema and horror globally. On the other hand, the number 40 in roman numerals, as though it was an XL size, was taking us to somewhere further than just an advert, we wanted it to show and pay tribute to the history and identity of the Festival itself.

“Arrebato” (Iván Zulueta, 1979) became a perfect link for all these ideas: it is a film about cinema, but it has no connection with what one might expect from this simple definition. Through this ill-conceived and upsetting atmosphere, cinema is presented as a kind of drug that catches you as a vampire in a spiral of addiction: just what we were looking for with the advert. Through this ill-conceived and upsetting atmosphere, cinema is presented as a kind of drug that catches you as a vampire in a spiral of addiction: just what we were looking for with the advert.

We hope we succeeded in transmitting this love for horror, this addiction to cinema, this tribute to what the Molins festival is and has been for the last years along with an unsettling atmosphere. Our aim was to straightforward question the audience and create something that be revisited several times…
