TEORÍA DE LOS SEIS GRADOS DE SEPARACIÓN: CÓMO LLEGAR DESDE HUESCA HASTA WOODY ALLEN Y OTRAS CURIOSIDADES CINEMATOGRÁFICAS
SUNDAY 9 JUNE · 12 PM · BLUE ROOM OF THE CASINO OF HUESCA
By the writer and scriptwriter Óscar Sipán.
Social media owes its beginnings to the Theory of Six Degrees of Separation. This concept posits that every person on the planet is connected to each other by no more than six intermediary connections. Originating from a proposal by Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in 1929, this theory is founded on the idea of “chains,” where the number of connections increases exponentially with each link added.
In this cinematic discussion, we’ll embark on a journey from Huesca to figures like Woody Allen, Eva Perón, and Steven Spielberg, among others. It’s a fascinating exploration of connectivity and the intriguing pathways that lead us from one person to another. And amidst this, there’s a tale waiting to be told: a film set in Ireland with a lead character hailing from Alto Aragón, possibly captivating millions of Netflix viewers, yet remaining an untold story.
