Manifesto in Support Nacho Vigalondo
the undersigned wish to express our outrage and condemnation of the artificial tissue media scandal against Spaniard filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo joke about a supposedly anti-Semitic or Holocaust denial broadcast social network Twitter . Similarly, we want to show our support and solidarity to Vigalondo against the excessive personal and professional consequences that such distortion media have reported. This
media manipulation has led to the closure Vigalondo that kept the blog for the digital version of El País and the cessation of dissemination of the advertising campaign had made for the edition of iPad newspaper. Therefore
:
1. We seem biased harassment has been Vigalondo by various media, and the attempt to damage his public image any cost, and we regret the decision as unfair to employers to take action so drastic, instead of trying to explain what happened and why. Succumbing to the pressures of competition has led to a series of unfortunate decisions by The Country .
2. It is outrageous to see how we have used the misrepresentation to enter into a media battle obviously concerned (and a despicable sensationalism), which has tried Vigalondo morally without playing the original context of the joke.
3. It has been argued that the joke is not funny, that on certain things are not jokes. A joke only works in context, and here this context was to deny a series of undeniable truths. Of course, those involved him out of that context so it does not function as a joke, but as alleged statement of intent.
4. The list of internationally established artists with a sense of humor similar to Vigalondo is long. One wonders what would happen to the cultural life of this country if we did the same thing has been done to Vigalondo with all the artists who have satirized or parodied the Holocaust from the Jewish director Ernst Lubistch defined in the voice of a Nazi high command, which is a concentration camp ("We do the Concentrating and the Poles do the camping ") to Woody Allen also Jewish saying that every time you listen to Wagner make you want to invade Poland. In any case, we express our disagreement with the moral police at any time decide what we can laugh and what not.
5. The ultimate goal of this statement is to advocate for Nacho Vigalondo to continue to fulfill his career as a filmmaker in the same way it has done so far, without retaliation or blacklisting undesirable reminiscent of times past.
The history of cinema and professional Nacho Vigalondo is impeccable, full of critical and commercial successes, in Spain and abroad. We can not allow trials concerned by the media may affect the normal development of his successful career.
