Cin/Drome 1.6: Fernando García-Valiño Carbó

Another fascinating glimpse into my guest's brain via the medium of their film choices.

We learn early that Fernando went to university in Spain to study being a Private Detective and that really sets the scene for a pretty forensic exploration of cinema.

We cover Ernst Lubitsch 1930s Great War drama Broken Lullaby and David Lynch's masterpiece of Hollywood introspection Mulholland Drive, with nods and winks to documentaries from Ross McElwee, the Nouvelle Vague masters Claude Chabrol and Jean Luc Godard, and the Coen Brothers' cult comedy The Big Lebowski along the way.

We start, however, with a bang, in 1990 with a very young boy exploring the cinema itself while Days of Thunder plays in the background.

A great ride from start to finish... enjoy!

Hello and welcome to my podcast site, Veni Vidi Viti: Tales and Talanoa from The Fiji Islands.

Since moving here in 2019 from the UK I have met some fascinating people from an area of the world I previously knew very little about.

I decided to curate this series of talanoa (a Fijian term meaning storytelling, dialogue and forming relationships) as a way for me to learn more about this amazing culture and share with my friends at home and anyone else who might be interested.

As Fiji and the South Pacific enters the geo-political consciousness more and more, I hope these short, informal discussions will provide and introductory understanding of the region and people in the place I now call home.
