Since Alex de la Iglesia made public his desire to leave his post as president of the English Academy of Cinema many questions arose.
"reconsider its decision? Will allow you to take part in the ceremony Goya Awards ? and, to intervene, "will refer in his speech why he has chosen to take such a drastic decision or be limited to typical and bland speech devoted to extolling the virtues of patriotic film?
Last Sunday February 13 was held the Twenty Gala Goya. The gala with more morbidity from that, five years ago, a dozen film lovers created. And, as befits a country full of morbid as ours, the most watched program on Sunday night.
All unknowns were cleared. Alex de la Iglesia in the most anticipated moment of the night, he spoke. Still did as president and, most importantly, it was as the person is intelligent and coherent.
His words served to ratify his decision to leave office and to remind the film industry that the Internet is a present reality and future of film is going to recognize and that if the public understand the real reason that movies are filmed, has decided he prefers to enjoy the work of filmmakers from the plasma screen in your living room from your iPod or from your computer monitor then industry must adapt to the new situation and offer creative and innovative solutions. Solution necessarily involves collaboration between politicians, authors and public, of course, not be reduced to take legal action against Web sites and servers.
Here is the speech. A speech consistent with the ideas it expresses. The speech cleverly loaded with sincerity and irony of possibly better president than the English Academy of Cinematographic Arts ever had. The discourse of a character who has seen the future, but would not have been allowed to go to meet him.
