Retroback is the name of Classic Film Festival of Granada. He has been a few issues and seems to consolidate and have very good reception. In addition to its extensive programming cycle classic films on the big screen cinema and theater, organizes Retroback conferences and book presentations. As if that were not enough, each year organizes exhibitions on a myth of classic films. In the first edition was dedicated to Audrey Hepburn with the approval and presence of their two sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti, and three of his grandchildren, who took the Oscar for the occasion with which to reward their mothers by Vacation in Rome.
Granada City Orchestra closed the first edition of the festival playing a selection of songs by Henry Mancini for movies starring Audrey as " Breakfast at Tiffany's," Funny Face, "" My Fair Lady, "" Two for the Road "or" Charade "
The next edition was in honor of Humphrey Bogart.
Stephen Bogart, son of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall confirmed their attendance honoring his father last year.
From left to right: Stephen Bogart, the mayor of Granada (quenosécomosellama) and Sean Ferrer (aka hijísimo Audrey Hepburn), who seems like she took the Retroback.
Stephen Bogart said he was "humble and excited " to the recognition given to the figure of his father and classic films in Europe in general, contrary to what happens in the U.S. where he claimed there people are "more interested in Paris Hilton" and the fleeting fame and actresses do not have much respect for the classic film, when it comes to something of great value . "
Lauren Bacall did not attend for health reasons but was equally grateful and made a connection via satellite.
This second edition also hosted a film series devoted to Chaplin and Morricone's music . (Almost ná)
The third and current edition pays tribute to Marilyn Monroe . And this time, servant has had the pleasure of attending some shows in person. In the exhibition " Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe " gives the impression that attempts to demystify and personalize more the figure of a myth as unattainable as that of Marilyn through photographs of children, adolescents and young Marilyn commented on by itself your own handwriting, adoption papers, driving license or first employment contract and a lipstick or a hair, yes, a hair Marilyn Monroe with a certificate of authenticity.
Tickets to all shows are free. The most expensive ticket is 10 euros to attend the opening and closing of the festival. Admission to film screenings cost 3 euros and theater tickets range between 4.5 and 7.

movie posters featuring Marilyn adorn one of the main streets of Granada on the red carpet. And I could not avoid being photographed with Miss Monroe. I did many, but none I liked. Normal, who happens to be next to Marilyn Monroe and want to do well.
