Title: El ingenio fotofílmico de Gilberto Martínez Solares
Description: The book explores more than 150 films directed during the so-called golden age of Mexican cinema by Gilberto Martínez Solares, also photographer and cinematographer. Comprising about 700 pieces -among photographs, posters, sketches, costumes, scripts, memorabilia and fragments of his films- the prolific filmmaker (who was the author of most of his scripts), had amongst his collaborators Emilio "Indio" Fernández and such relevant writers as Rodolfo Usigli and Mauricio Magdaleno. Throughout his career he knew how to adapt to the changes of the industry and, above all, to the taste of the public, with whom he always connected in an extraordinary way. The exhibition was curated by Elisa Lozano, contributor to the magazine Cuartoscuro, and the catalog includes texts by film scholars Rosario Vidal, Eduardo de la Vega, Xóchitl Fernández, Roberto Fiesco, Héctor Orozco, Rafael Aviña and Hugo Lara.
