-Who is Alberto Martín-Aragón?

I don’t know exactly. I think Alberto Martín-Aragón is a defeated and melancholic man who makes surreal and dreamlike short films to alleviate the loneliness of his shipwreck.

-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

When I saw Barbara Stanwyck weep desperately in the final scene of “Meet John Doe,” a 1941 film directed by Frank Capra. I was twelve years old, and it was the first time I thought cinema could be more beautiful and truer than life.

-Which director inspires you the most?

Many directors inspire me. I’ll name four of them: Béla Tarr, Luis Buñuel, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and David Lynch.

-What don’t you like about the world and what would you change?

I don’t like people who are obsessed with always winning. Many of these people tend to dedicate themselves to politics, which has become an undignified and despicable activity carried out by charlatans and ruffians.

-How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

I think that in 100 years there will be no humanity, nor will there be cinema. I hope I’m wrong.

-What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?

WILD FILMMAKER is an indispensable and providential community because it gives visibility to many bold and visionary filmmakers who often lack the financial support necessary to bring their work to large audiences.
