Born in Barcelona in 1945, Ventura Pons is
one of the most important and best-known
Catalan film directors. Pons began his career
in the theater and burst into the international
film scene in 1978 with “Ocana, retrat intermittent” (“Ocana, an
Intermittent Portrait”), a touching portrait of one of that city’s most
famous tranvestites.
Through his production company, Els Films de la Rambla, Pons has
produced and directed over 20 dramas, comedies and even musicals
that explore the complex relationships between men and women, men
and men, women and women. And even though “Ocana” was chosen
to participate at the Cannes Film Festival, it wasn’t until “Caricies”
(1997) was selected by the Berlin International Film Festival for its
Panorama section that the world finally paid attention to his uncompromising work. In fact, he is the only director whose films have been
invited five consecutive times to Berlin, the other four being “Amic/
amat”(1998), “Morir (o no)” (1999), “Anita Takes a Chance” (2000)
and “Food of Love” (2001, his only English-language film).
Pons has been the subject of more than 20 tributes and retrospectives,
including the Lincoln Center’s Spanish Cinema Now! Series (1999),
the Buenos Aires Festival of Independent Cinema (2000), Hollywood’s
American Cinematheque (2001), Lima’s Film Festival (2009) and the
Montpellier Festival in France (2011).
He has won the Butaca Award for Best Catalan Film, the Mar del Plata
Film Festival Award for Best Iberoamerican Film , and the Premis de
Cinematografia de la Generalitat de Catalunya, among others, and
has been nominated for the Goya for Best Adapted Screenplay. He
has also received the Creu de Saint Jordi, the highest civil distinction
awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya. For his unique vision, his
independent spirit and his accomplishments, the International Latino
Cultural Center of Chicago is honored to present Mr. Pons with the
Gloria Career Achievement Award.

Together Forever
Juntos Para Siempre
Javier es un guionista encantador y neurótico que
esta absorto en sí mismo. El pierde a su novia,
Lucía, de mucho tiempo, cuando ella se da cuenta
de que él no notó su ausencia durante dos días.
Su resistencia a volver lo lleva a sumirse más
profundamente en su neurosis y en el desarrollo
de un guión que extrañamente arroja luz sobre la
verdad de su decepción con la gente. Una sutil
comedia que refleja la condición humana de la
negación.
Tunnel of Bones
En Túnel de los Huesos
Based on a true story, “El Tunel de los
Huesos” tells of the daring escape of prisoners who dug a tunnel from the prison
hospital and came across a gruesome
discovery. In order to attain freedom, they
promise to tell what is found in the bowels
of the jail… if they escape.
Ceci, una niña de siete años de edad, tiene que
guardar un gran secreto, pero ella no entiende
completamente lo que es el secreto. La vida de
su familia depende de su silencio. Pero, ¿qué es
lo que ella debe guardar en silencio? Ceci y su
madre viven escondidas de la represión militar
en Argentina. Ceci se pregunta: ¿qué tiene que
decir? ¿Qué debería realmente creer y hacer
para merecer el amor de su madre y los demás?
Javier is a self-absorbed and neurotic, but
charming screenplay writer. He loses his
long-term girlfriend, Lucía, when she learns
he was unaware of her absence for two days.
Her reluctance to return drives him deeper
into his neurosis and the development of a
script that eerily sheds light on the truth behind his disappointment with people. A subtle
comedy that captures human denial.
