The impossible cities
Las ciudades imposibles
Synopsis
Between 1947 and 1949 the photographer based in the Canary Islands Bonifacio Hernández Gil made numerous photographs for the army and the colonial administration of the so-called Spanish West Africa. In his images appear new cities as scenes of science fiction movies, surrounded by the desert and half-empty, prepared to welcome the new man that the regime designed. Impossible cities that the film says from the present in the only possible way, as Calvino wrote: from the relations between the measurements of its space and the events of its past.
