Twenty-five years after his Imagfic disappearance, the imaginary Madrid film festival, will return in 2018 Veinticinco a os despu s de su desaparici n y de la mano de sus promotores originales, Rita Sonlleva y su hijo David LLuesma, y Luis M. Rosales como director del proyecto, el festival volver a celebrarse en 2018. En 1994 desaparec a el festival de cine imaginario de Madrid, Imagfic, debido al infructuoso intento de conseguir la financiaci n necesaria para llevarse a cabo. Desaparec a as , tras catorce ediciones, un festival muy querido por los madrile os y con gran trascendencia internacional.
Ahora, de la mano de sus promotores originales, Rita Sonlleva y su hijo David LLuesma, y Luis M. Rosales como director del proyecto el festival volver a celebrarse en 2018.
Su intenci n es recuperar el festival de una forma continuista, en su d cimo quinta edici n, centrado en el g nero fant stico, tal y como naci originalmente, y con la meta fijada en su celebraci n en el mes de mayo de 2018. Fecha se alada ya que se cumplen 25 a os de la celebraci n de su ltima edici n.
Con motivo de celebraci n de la 15 edici n de Imagfic, y como presentaci n, el mes de septiembre Fescinal, Cine de Verano del Parque de la Bombilla, llevar a cabo un homenaje al mismo, que en la d cada de los 80 y 90 llen la capital de Espa a de grandes t tulos y estrellas mundiales del cine imaginario.
Fescinal tiene una uni n muy especial con Imagfic, ya que gracias a este y a sus promotores originales, Rita Sonlleva y Jorge Lluesma, empez su andadura all por 1984, creando una nueva y singular idea para ver cine en los Veranos de la Villa de Madrid.
Por este motivo, Fescinal quiere rendir este homenaje mostrando una reposici n de varios de los t tulos m s destacados que pasaron por las pantallas del Imagfic para mostrar a muchos de los ya consagrados realizadores y actores de talla mundial hoy, a los espectadores de la capital.
Luis M. Rosales recuerda que cuando comenz mi inter s por el fant stico, all por los a os 80 que uno ya peina canas, las car tulas de las pel culas de las estanter as del videoclub luc an orgullosas los laureles de tres, s tan s lo tres festivales. Estaba Sitges, el franc s Avoriaz, y el madrile o Imagfic. Tres festivales por los que pasaba la flor y nata del g nero. Lamentablemente, el destino quiso que el festival desapareciese tras su d cimo cuarta edici n en 1993. Pero su impronta pervivi hasta nuestros d as. Muchos aficionados todav a recuerdan sus proyecciones, sus maratones, sus retrospectivas y a sus invitados. Y un servidor, pese a no haber podido disfrutarlo, nunca lo olvid . El recuerdo de aquellos laureles permaneci en mi subconsciente durante todos estos a os .
Cuando empezamos a pensar en un nombre para el nuevo proyecto que quer amos poner en marcha, se nos ocurri una idea. Contactamos con Rita Sonlleva, alma del festival que nunca se ha alejado de la exhibici n gracias a Fescinal, y le propusimos recuperarlo, no de cualquier forma, sino celebrando su d cimoquinta edici n como si el tiempo no hubiese pasado. Rita y su hijo, David Lluesma, se mostraron encantados con la idea. Y ahora, cuando est n a punto de celebrarse los 25 a os de su desaparici n, se cumple aquello que dec a Lovecraft de que no est muerto lo que puede so ar eternamente' e Imagfic despierta de su letargo para ofrecernos, una vez m s, lo mejor del cine imaginario. Muchas gracias Rita y David por permitirnos formar parte de este sue o y por confiar en m para dirigirlo. Larga vida al fant stico! , concluye Rosales.
