A documentary claims the teleclubes of the Palencia mountain.
It will be released this Friday at the Rural and Mountain Film Festival in Cervera to recover the living memory of these spaces that constitute the social center of many villages.
Within the Rural and Mountain Film Festival of Cervera de Pisuerga this Friday, May 9, at 8:30 p.m. the documentary ‘Teleclub’ will be released, a work that recovers the living memory of these community spaces that, since the 60s, have been the social center of many towns of the Palencia mountain.
When television began to reach Spanish homes, many villages could not afford a device per family. Thus the Teleclubes were born, places where a television was shared, something was taken at the bar and chatted or played the mus until the night entrance. Far from disappearing, many of these premises are still active, adapted to the new times, but faithful to their original spirit.
The documentary travels through the memory and the present of these places, discovering how they have been, and remain, the heart of social life in the villages. Through personal stories, daily encounters and landscapes of the mountain, a way of life in which the community, closeness and daily resistance are the conductive resistance are portrayed.
‘Teleclub’, created by Daniel Marí and Ana de la Estanueva, has the music of the Delamesta group, a root musical formation in Valladolid that mixes tradition and sound experimentation. His collaboration provides a unique and deeply linked atmosphere to the territory, wrapping the documentary narrative with a sound landscape that dialogues with memory, roots and collective spirit of teleclubes.
