Antonio Muñoz Molina: The Writer’s Job (Antonio Muñoz Molina: El oficio del escritor)
[60 min; 2014; Spanish with English subtitles]
Direction, Script & Editing: Álvaro Giménez Sarmiento
Documentary on the life of writer, Antonio Muñoz Molina, one of the greatest figures in Spanish contemporary literature, who has been spending his time, between Madrid and New York for many years now. Spain is where his family is, his home, and his publishing house. A place where he grew up and a place that he never really left. New York is home to his dreams and its appeal lies in the anonymity of its streets, the relative quietness of his public life, and his work at the University of London.
