Greetings, Antonio Pelaez Javier Aguirre shoots in Paris the penultimate episode of an experimental documentary *The Spanish director has invested 10 years and has been around the whole world to complete “Latidos” (“Beatings”), an experimental documentary which will be premiered in 2014 at the Spanish gallery Espacio Mínimo* Javier Aguirre (San Sebastián, 1935) will be in *Paris from 4**th** to 7** th** August *to shoot the 12th episode of “Latidos” (“Beatings”), an experimental documentary which protraits the main streets of different cities around the world since 2004. Produced independently by his own company (Actual Films), “Latidos” proposes a walk *around the world* through different cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Bogota, Calcuta, Athenas, Rome, New York, Sydney, Beijin, etc.) to watch them in a way apparently (only apparently) objectively. Aguirre *started this project in 2004* and his world premiere, with 13 cities, will be in 2014 at the Gallery Espacio Mínimo, in Madrid. Javier Aguirre es a unique case in world cinema history. His first short films received awards in lots of festivals -including a Concha de Oro at the *Festival de San Sebastián-*, but on the late 60s he worked as director of blockbusters (“Los chicos con las chicas”, “El jorobado de la morgue” -The Hunchback of the Morgue-, “Martes y trece, ni te cases ni te embarques”, etc.) to shoot his own avant-garde short films. Some of them were part of the cicle known as “Anticine”, and some reflections of different artists about this films were written in a book. Since 1981, he also creates avant-garde long films, all of them with final copy in 35 mm., like the monologue “*Vida/Perra*” (1981) -for which the actress Esperanza Roy won an award at the Bienal of Venecia-, “*Continuum*” (1984) -with only one sequence shot, based upon texts by Fernando Pessoa-, “ *Voz*” (2000) -a single shot, static, the only adaptation of “Company”, by Thomas Beckett, that exists-, “*Variaciones 1/113*” (2003) -variations around a kiss between Javier Bardem and Inés Sastre, based upon a poem by Jorge Luis Borges read by himself in the film-, “*Dispersión de la luz*” (2005) -adaptation of “Sobre los ángeles de Alberti”-, “*Medea 2*” (2006) -the myth of Medea talked and danced- and “*Sol*” (2010) -the history of Puerta del Sol, in Madrid, around more than 40 years, it received the Award Villa de Madrid-. Films by Javier Aguirre have been programed in festivals and museums around the world. His shor films “Anticine” were bough by the Contemporary Museum of Art *Reina Sofía* and are part of his permanent collection.
