Director Carla Sim\u00f3n returns with her second feature film, Alcarr\u00e0s<\/em><\/strong>, following her successful debut, 2017\u2019s Summer 1993<\/em><\/strong>. Inspired by her own personal connection to peach cultivators in the village of Alcarr\u00e0s, Sim\u00f3n created a fictionalized story about what changes over the course of generations and shifting production lines.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to speak with Sim\u00f3n about the experience of making her second film and working with a cast of mostly unprofessional actors. She also talked about what it has been like screening the film throughout Europe and her excitement about sharing it with American audiences.<\/p>\n

\"Alcarr\u00e0s\"<\/p>\n

Film summary:<\/p>\n

Winner of the Golden Bear at this year\u2019s Berlinale Festival, Carla Sim\u00f3n\u2019s follow-up to her acclaimed childhood drama\u00a0Summer 1993\u00a0<\/em>is a ruminative, lived-in portrait of a rural family in present-day Catalonia whose way of life is rapidly changing. The Sol\u00e9 clan live in a small village, annually harvesting peaches for local business and export. However, their livelihood is put in jeopardy by the looming threat of the construction of solar panels, which would necessitate the destruction of their orchard. From this simple narrative, pitting agricultural tradition against the onrushing train of modern progress, Sim\u00f3n weaves a marvelously textured film that moves to the unpredictable rhythms and caprices of nature and family life.<\/p>\n
