The Research Project on the imprint of Wenceslao Fernández Flórez in the post-war Spanish Cinema will organize a symposium next spring

Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of Wenceslao Fernández Flórez’s death, at the beginning of the spring of 2014 will be held a symposium on core issues of the Research Project “Towards a reconsideration of postwar culture: analysis of the Modes of Representation in Spanish cinema (1939-1962) from Wenceslao Fernández Flórez’s mark”. The Symposium will be headed by the Principal Investigator (José Luis Castro de Paz) and will be called “Costumbrismo, humor, melancolía, reflexividad: Impronta de Wenceslao Fernández Flórez en el cine español”. Several members of the Project Team and other experts in disciplines related to the object of the study will attend the meeting. Subsequently, all contributions will be published in a volume that will serve as a central hub to the project. We can confirm that José-Carlos Mainer will handle the inaugural conference and will focus on the figure of the Galician writer view from today.
