Eufònic 2024 honors and pays tribute to the American composer and pioneer of mechanical music, Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997), with a program of activities curated by Arnau Horta and created in collaboration with the Consorci per la Memòria de la Batalla de l’Ebre (COMEBE), the Centre d’Estudis de la Batalla de l’Ebre (CEBE), and the Gandesa City Council. We will welcome the multifaceted Catalan artist Francesc Torres, a recognized pioneer in the language of video installations and an expert on the Civil War. This screening features previously unseen material filmed during 1937-38 on various fronts of the Civil War (Guadalajara, Teruel, and the Ebro) by Harry Randall, a photographer and cameraman of the Lincoln Brigade, the unit of American volunteers who came to fight for the Republic. This impressive historical find—accompanied by the music of Conlon Nancarrow—captures the desperate moments of waiting during the war and features not only combatants and civilians but also the writer Ernest Hemingway, journalist Martha Gellhorn, and economist Robert Halle Merriman.
