	INTERVIEW: Circles and Light; Julio Medem Escapes with "Sex and Lucia"
		Medem: In the section of the movie that is the past, we shot the whole sequence in a week and in order.
		Medem: If somebody is running away from something, I adapt to that sensation, where you're protecting yourself, and when I'm in that state, I don't want to know about the past.
		Medem: To clarify, in Spanish, the title is "Lucia and El Sexo," because Lucia is that energy, that present, that escape, and the sex part is the past, so that's why it's in that order.

	Wild At Heart: The Films of Julio Medem
		While his name is not yet as recognizable as that of his compatriot Pedro Almodóvar, director Julio Medem has steadily garnered a reputation as one the central figures in Spanish film today—more specifically, in the thriving Basque cinema that is too little seen in the United States.
		For their help and support in bringing the films of Julio Medem to Boston we wish to thank Juan Romero de Terreros of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C., the Filmoteca of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ricardo Peidró, Consul General of Spain in Boston.
		In a nominally realist, rural setting, Medem creates an atmosphere of fantasy and poetry in which wild boars are attracted by female smells and widowers search for their dead, departed lovers among the stars.

	Julio Medem’s
		Medem’s five films have been greeted with critical acclaim within some circles, although even his latest films have failed to secure general release outside of Spain (Medem is Basque) and are often not so much as reviewed.
		Medem’s films are metaphysical parables, often on the nature of love, and the concomitant psychology of identity, necessity and contingency.
		For Medem, love is the interior escape from apparent objective contingency; that is, to be in love is to view the loved as internally related to one’s self, and thus inexplicable, primitive.

		The film by Julio Medem ‘The Basque ballgame: the skin against the stone’ (as a reference to the different elements within the game and their conflictive connotations) has suffered the attack of PP (Partido Popular) representatives.
		Julio Medem (Donostia, 1958) started working in the film last year as a reaction to the new wave of Spanish nationalism which was wiping the basque Country.
		Medem made a written presentation of his latest film where he places it in the development of his cinematographic history and in his move to Madrid from the basque Country.

	Julio Medem
		In general, Medem’s characters are linked by an invisible force that drives them together (Cristina and Peru in Vacas; Jota and Sofia in La Ardilla Roja; Angel and Mari, and Angel and Angela in Tierra; and Lucia and Lorenzo in Lucía y el Sexo); throughout the narrative, Medem’s characters have a common destiny.
		Medem’s explanation for his use of narrative by animals is exemplified here by the reindeer when it appears in the woods as though calling Otto and Ana.
		The films Julio Medem has made so far are the work of a great director as suggested by Peter Wollen, “in terms of shifting relations, in their singularity as well as their uniformity” (Wollen 1999: 529).

	Then It Must Be True - Julio Medem
		Medem is one of the most talented filmmakers not only in Spain but within the art of cinema around the world.
		Although Medem’s films to date have been exclusively in Spanish, his work speaks for anyone and everyone who has wanted to run away but at the same time be found, to be loved but is not able to love, to live even as life is overwhelming their very existence.
		What makes Medem’s work so powerful is his very personal identification with it, how he doesn't fear allowing his own life's experiences to play a part in his characters and the stories they have to tell.

	Medem Controversy
		According to Julio Medem's own article A Bird Is Flying Through a Gorge and his interview at the Diario Vasco, the director's first intention was to make a fiction feature film entitled Aitor: Stone Against Skin.
		Medem's idea was to go back to the Basque Country "in order to see, listen to, change certain clichéd ideas".
		On the other hand, Julio Medem was compared by a contributor on the Madrid-based newspaper La Razón Digital (September 23) to Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler's filmmaker.

	Julio Medem
		Medem felt compelled to issue a press release in which he repeated his commitment to non-violence and political dialogue.
		The Basque government also denounced the 'persecution'that Julio Medem is suffering.
		Five months after The Basque Ball's release, and shortly before the Spanish general elections (which resulted in a change of government), Julio Medem talked to Film Ireland about the creation of the documentary, his intentions, why the film is considered politically controversial, and how he has been affected by the barrage of media harassment.

		Julio Medem doesn't direct his films so much as weave them: images, characters, criss-crossing stories, and recurring motifs intertwine, blur, and transform through time.
		Medem sets his tale of love and lust amidst the stunning, austere landscape of fiery red hills, a world both primal and alien (dressed in white protective suits, the fumigators look like astronauts on Mars).
		Medem masters again in his abilities to dig into the realm of the human nature, and reveals life, dilemas and the exercise of serious choices yet to be made.

		Medem demands his audience to think (remember Abre los Ojos).
		It's really sad to think that linear and flat plots that only demand to sit and watch are what most people see as good films.
		And it deserves a second session to go through the small details -which are plenty in Medem's work.
