An important aspect of Erice’s work in the 21st century has been his stand-out contributions to a range of portmanteau films focusing on specific themes and events. This program brings together three of these beautifully crafted and meticulously detailed shorts: Lifeline (2002), Ana, tres minutos (2011) and Broken Windows (2012).
Placing Erice’s work alongside that of his peers, each film explores the passage of time, the resonance of place and the legacies of history and everyday life. The program concludes with the more recent Prayer (2018), a montage of time-worn photographs shot over many years in the same place.
