Director's Statement

[ENG]

"We don't know where life will take us, but we can get to know where we come from, who are our loved ones and which is the land that gave us birth. If we have a clear mind about this, we've already gone a long way".

                 As soon as I heard these words I thought: ¡How wise! I want to know about my people and my roots. It is the only way forward. A look into the past, an observation upon the memory with the objective of bringing it to the epicentre of a personal and global interest. That is how Curricán was born, as a result of one of the many conversations with my relatives at home. Most of the time, the stories are right there, if front of your eyes. Simple stories that we might have heard hundreds of times, suddenly become extraordinary.

 
[GAL]

“Non sabemos onde nos levará a vida, pero si sabemos de ónde procedemos, quénes son os nosos e cál é a terra que nos deu a orixe. E si temos esto claro, levamos moito andado na vida”.

                  Tan pronto coma escoitei estas verbas pensei: ¡Cánta razón! Eu quero saber, quero coñecer, quero estudar quenes son os meus e cales son as miñas raíces. So así saberei camiñar hacia diante. Un ollar ao pasado, unha reflexión sobre a memoria co único obxetivo de recuperala e traela ao epicentro do interés personal e global. Así nace Curricán, como consecuencia dunha das moitas conversas de sobremesa cos meus, na miña casa. Normalmente as historias que un pode contar están ahí, á vista, preto de nos. Son historias sinxelas que posiblemente teramos escoitado centos de veces, e que de repente se volven extraordinarias.
