The Puertas de Castilla Cultural Center welcomes from today and until Sunday a retrospective seminar of the Argentinean director Mariano Llinás, main attraction of the 'Cayman & Ibaff' project.

The program starts today with the screening, at 9:00 pm, of 'Balnearios', which will be presented by Enric Albero, Ibaff's programmer.

Next Saturday, November 4, Mariano Llinás himself will arrive in Murcia to offer a seminar (which will run from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday and Sunday) and to present the special edition of the DVD 'Historias extraordinarias', which will take place Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

The special edition of 'Extraordinary History' was presented last Friday at the Ourense International Film Festival - OUFF, edited by Intermediate DVD and was born thanks to the collaboration between Caimán Cuadernos de Cine, the OUFF, Tabakalera, Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola and the IBAFF-Murcia International Film Festival.

The cycle will end on Sunday with the screening of the feature film 'La flor', at 4:00 p.m.

Attendance at the screenings is free until full capacity is reached.

The director, producer, scriptwriter and actor of Argentine cinema Mariano Llinás became known in the cinematographic environment in 2002 with his first film, 'Balnearios', an ironic and unconventional documentary.

Llinás, registered in the so-called New Argentine Cinema, made in 2004 the short film 'The most beautiful girl'.

It reached a great impact with 'Historias extraordinarias' (2008), a four-hour film told by the voice-over of Uruguayan actor Daniel Hendler, who won recognition from Argentine critics and numerous awards, including the Special Prize of the Jury and the Audience Award at the Independent Film Festival of Buenos Aires (Bafici).

Llinás is part of the group of filmmakers El Pampero Cine, which carries out its activity outside the traditional financing structures of industrial cinema.

In 2011 he won the Konex Award as one of the 5 best film directors of the decade in Argentina.
