cecilia margarita bartolomé pina

Cecilia Bartolomé Pina


Film-maker

Cecilia is considered to be one of the most transgressive filmmakers of her time. She grew up in the former Spanish colony of Fernando Pó, now Equatorial Guinea, where she began acting and directing school plays. After abandoning her studies in Engineering and later Economic Sciences, she managed to enroll at the Official Cinema School of Madrid, one of the most prominent centers at the time where the New Spanish Cinema was created. Bartolomé graduated in 1969 with Margarita and the Wolf, a school essay that became an almost revolutionary medium-length film at the time. Before this project, the director had already made her first short films within the institution, including Carmen de Carabanchel (1965) or Plan Jack Cero Tres (1967), with a screenplay co-written with Gonzalo Suárez. Years later, in 1978, she directed her first feature film Let’s Go, Bárbara!, a version of the film Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (Martin Scorsese, 1974). This work was considered by critics to be the first feminist film in the history of Spanish cinema, where Bartolomé particularly focused on the liberation of Spanish women. The critical content of her work, where she publicly exposed the difficulties of women in society at the time, provoked censorship of her work by the Franco regime. In 1981 she co-directed with her brother After…, a political documentary divided into two parts (You Can't Be Left Alone and Atado and Bien Atado, respectively), censored, according to Bartolomé, for political reasons. At the end of the 90s she directed Far from Africa (1996), a work again written in collaboration with her brother, where the director from Alicante narrates in an autobiographical way her childhood in the former Spanish colony. In 2005, she created a documentary chapter for the television series Cuéntame Como Foi, entitled Especial Carrero Blanco: the beginning of the end, which she claims to be one of the most interesting projects of her career. Bartolomé received the Women of Cinema award in 2012, awarded by the Gijón International Film Festival. Two years later, she received the Gold Medal for merit in the Fine Arts Academy of Spain. Finally, in 2018, she received the special prize from the Audiovisual Academy of Valencia.
