José Luis Guerín : 2015
The Academy of Muses
A teacher talks of muses, those figures able to inspire poets to create something that did not exist before. When he returns from teaching class, a professor of philology is interrogated by his wife, who distrusts his pedagogical approach, and his Academy of the Muses which, inspired by classical references, is intended to regenerate the world through poetry. This controversial project sets off a series of situations dominated by language and desire. A fascinating journey into the world of someone who believes in words and their power to change people, but then realises that these changes have consequences in real life. José Luis Guerín's feature premiered in competition in the Signs of Life section at Locarno Film Festival 2015.
