TORRENT (l'Horta Sud)
Returns Historical torrent after the suspension of last year's edition following the Poio ravine. It does so by expanding the literary boundaries to embrace the celluloid, from the hand of what was the spoiled child of Spanish cinematography: Alejandro Amenábar. The Spanish-Chilean director, responsible for acclaimed historical productions com now and - not at all acclaimed - the recent one The captive, will receive the Honorary Consul Award, and will share his influences within the genre. Within the purely literary program, we find there Rare Rosary (The bride of peace) i Núria Chains (Tiberius Caesar) conversing around the contradictions of power, Javier Moro explaining the need to know our history beyond clichés, Alfonso Goizueta (The dream of Troy) talking with Fernando Garrido Baixauli of the predominant obsessions within the genus, and the Alicante authors Begoña Valero (Revenge of the Templars) i Juan Francisco Ferrándiz (The judgment of water) leading the conference The century they didn't tell us about. There will also be parallel activities such as the meeting with an expert in Valencian legends, book clubs, story teller, live music byInnerlands i Belforte Jazz Duo, and a fair with peeks at characters such as Harry Potter and the author(e)s universals com Jane Austen, Jules Verne, J.R.R. Tolkien and Franz Kafka. AU
