Fucking Mine

Directed by Chus Domínguez, Áurea González, Belén Sola, Laura Alonso, Mari Fernández, Raquel Balbuena, Mercedes Ordás, Cristina Turrado and Conchi Unanue

With Laura Alonso, Raquel Balbuena, Manuel Carranza, Francisco Castañón and Álvaro Cuesta

An audiovisual excavation in the mining area of Gordón (León), in the village of Ciñera, affected by the dismantling of the mining industry and the ways of life associated with it. The project has been conceived as a collective work through local groups, in which the last images of the mine are intermingled with the conversations held between women miners throughout the period 2016-2017. The resulting film adds layers of complexity to an epic reading of the class struggle, while highlighting aspects such as care work or affective components, usually relegated in the conventional narrative about the mine.
