La estafa del amor, Virginia Garcia del Pino

La estafa del amor, Virginia Garcia del Pino, Spain, 73´

Session organised with Dock of the Bay.

Presentation and talk with Virginia Garcia del Pino.

We invited a group of people to a reading of a script for a film about a man who romanced women in order to swindle them. As the script reading progressed, people began to dig into their own stories. The whole process was recorded live. The result is a kind of congress on the ideal of romantic love and the extraordinary (and not necessarily positive) influence it has on men and women. La estafa del amor also questions the cinematic act, its capacity for influence and representation, the very need to make films and the way in which the media -cinema, television, networks, etc.- configure and design in an extreme way our ways of loving, and the emotional, physical, social and political repercussions that this has.
