    Dir. Carlos Molinero and Lola Salvador, Spain, 2005, video, 87 mins, color and b/w, Spanish w/ English subtitles.

    What good is an image if it cannot save a man’s life? La niebla en las palmeras poses this question. The biographical flashes of physicist, photographer, adventurer Santiago Bergson (1905-?) record a century at war, focusing on the events that marked his life: a miners revolt in Asturias, teenage love, the photo of a feminine nude, a silent film that disappeared in Cuba, the political manipulation of a photograph, The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles, a daughter, the first atomic bombings, the French Resistance, insanity and the end of WWII.

    Archive Fever! 3.0
    Central to our visual culture, the archive is a repository for any personal memories, shared histories, objects and documents through which we revisit the history of our time. In this series, we explore the myriad ways in which the archive, archival and found materials are central to the works of film and video artists who are discovering the dynamic possibilities within archives, creating new inventive modes for archival practice.
