Since call film at age 28 has not changed officially. It does now, 16 years later, and politics. After two years and nearly three months at the helm of the Academy of Cinema, filmmaker, screenwriter, writer, and now new Minister of Culture, is a committed woman and ideas outright. Belligerent with Internet downloads and the bandwidth of ADSL, says Internet does not end with the movie or the music as "the need for stories is so primary in humans that would be completed by finding ways to continue counting them." Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde, now politically and minister, is loaded with new projects. Prepare a play with Adriana Fejerman director, just released a new children's novel, Rosand and the sea of \u200b\u200bglass and need to keep telling stories, now from the other side. He
translate from Greek and Latin and went on to become a writer and filmmaker, why did you decide to seek a different life?
studied
Classical Philology but never practiced. I focused on other things: I worked at a label, a publisher, translator ... I was always in the field of culture. Did not quite find my vocation and it was by chance when I went for a course in script. It was thanks to this course when I shifted professionally, and since then I have not change careers.
prefer to Julius Caesar, Socrates or Elvira Lindo?
is very difficult to choose, but finally I was with Elvira Lindo.
Two years and three months since his appointment as president, would you like that his office was for life?
Not at all. It is a charge which must be renewed every three years as provided for in the statutes. Each new person who comes leaves its mark, and that's fine.
What does the Academy of Cinema, apart from giving prizes?
Film Academy in a lot of work. Today, first, released the correspondence I have accumulated, and I come two days a week. Later I met with Modesto Lomba, president of the Association of Fashion Designers. Now I get to you and then I have a meeting with the director general of the Organization (ILO Labour), because the Academy is concerned with the prevention program of child they have. Also I have to prepare a summer course for college ... there is always Menéndez Pelayo projects or ideas to move forward.
is proposed to follow in the footsteps of his father, the first president of the Academy, was of small stones that left, you know, not to miss?
Though he died just when I enrolled in the course of the script and work professionally I never saw my father shaped me a lot. So when I was elected president of the Academy I decided to follow in their footsteps. My father is an example to follow, and I always left the door wide open.
"In Spain there are a lot of talent but we need a more effective workplace for that talent has a wider spread"
You have won two Goya Awards, Best Original Screenplay for Good star Ricardo Franco 1997 and best new director for The Lucky asleep in 2003, do not you will be coming when the favorite daughter of a town or city?
I'm from Madrid capital, and hence we do not have a historical nationality or anything like that, and that's fine. I'd rather be in Madrid and not beloved daughter of nowhere.
"I dreamed of small prizes?
No. dreamed that interview made me like you're making me. Because it is a privilege to listen to you when you talk and give you the opportunity to think about something that perhaps you had not raised never had it not been because I asked him.
Let's talk about "brain drain" to the United States, you were one of them, did not you?
Well not so much, I moved to Los Angeles for the American Film Institute in order to form only. In the 80 and 90 not had film schools in Spain, and thought I had to learn from those who did very well, I went to the United States. In Spain there are a lot of talent but we need a more effective workplace for that talent has a wider spread.
alarm With such crisis, how do you think you have to live to English cinema?
Sometimes we take for granted that film and we always have, and the balance is delicate and can lose an entire industry in one of these technological revolutions. For Spain, the life expectancy of English cinema is very long. More and more production and although some say it is not good, the reality is that movies increasingly generate more interest. People struggle against all odds to bring their project forward.
Imagine that you go down the street and suddenly finds his latest film in the top blanket, what does?
ever happened to me. I unworthy lot but say nothing because I have to explain to Mr / movies that are selling pirate what it cost to make the film would be like a drop of water in the desert. We must take more serious action. Above all, I fixed a lot of people who buy these movies, people without any realization that are hurting many other workers.
"Internet will not kill us"
If his films are sold on the top blanket and downloaded on the internet, who pays?
is a great misfortune, as if I could get into a supermarket and take it all for free. Sounds like a great demagogic speech that culture has to be free, what happens to the goods of necessity like water or food? Everyone is entitled to receive any compensation for products it sells. The upside of all this is that people do this because want to see movies, and we must seize this moment.
Who is to blame for the current panorama of cinema in Spain? Does the Internet or Zapatero?
Internet will not kill us, because the need to tell and hear stories is so essential to the human being would find ways to continue counting. In this regard the government's actions, this country has been very concerned in making a great revolution in technology and technology companies have taken precedence over cultural have forgotten cultural content. The music and film can not pay the phone bills or those of other operators.
"The artistic part can not be separated from the industrial"
The most popular film in Spain, was Indiana Jones, why is highest grossing American film that one of here?
Because cinema is an industrial art and the art can not be separated from the industrial. When all the films have the same advertising, they talk alike in the news ... people will choose equity. I think there is market for everyone and is sharing more screens between the European film industry and American.
Emulating Zapatero who asked about the price of coffee, you know how much a movie ticket?
7.20, although I recall. Go to the movies every week and I still find the cheapest way to spend a lazy afternoon with friends.
box office results of 2008 have drawn a grim picture, who will overcome these figures?
Besides Amenabar, Almodovar, Fernando Trueba and Isabel Coixet, I hope you have new directors to surprise us and get a good distribution and promotion for their films.
Where do young talent in their agenda?
A fundamental place since the renovation and new ideas, also in the film, are essential. There is much talent in the English cinema but the youth of today are very conformist.
English cinema in 2008 earned five million euros less than in 2007, what would you do with that money?
Five million is not much money. I would spend a good advertising campaign that was beneficial for the English cinema.
How nothing personal?
No, no. [Laughs] Well, in a house in the country.
Five years ago there were 12,000 video stores in Spain and are now 3,000, if I had to start a business, which is why decantaría?
Although I am the daughter of producer, I am very little entrepreneurial and very poorly organized. If I had to start a business would be a producer of children's programs or something related to it.
The two films he has directed, Sleeping Luck and One word from you, portray dramas, life struggles to know how to live, where does these stories?
I'm not sure, maybe you should look to the psychologist [laughs].
"I take criticism fatal"
Do you have something to do all this criticism?
fatal I take criticism, do not read and, after making my first film, I learned that he had no character to endure. I do not know to what extent are useful for the operator, if you give or take away energy. The writer must manage well the enthusiasm and energy, and must be protected.
And finally, a word from him ... Rewriting
