This homage to Mila Lambert is the second tribute the MuVIM pays this year. The main purpose is recognizing the life work of those fighting and independent women engaged with life and art. Since 1950 to present day, Mila Lambert has developed a professional career as a painter as well as an illustrator and publisher of children’s literature. Moreover, since the 1970s, she became the holder of the artistic legacy of his father, the engraver André Lambert Jordan and his grandfather, the architect André-Louis Lambert Perret, preserving it and working for its public acknowledgment. In this story of art and familiar ties, the town of Xàbia (Alacant) is intimately bounded to the three Lambert generations.
This film belongs to the cinema series “Comic and cinema. From comic to screen” which screens the films where the most emblematic characters of the North American cartoon strip play the leading roles. The comic was born and developed between 1900 and 1950, a period covered by the temporary exhibition which is the reference framwork of the cinema series — “The Emergence of Classics”— . This film of 1942 is perhaps the most remembered production of Tarzan among all those released until today. It was the last production of the MGM on the wild character and the sixth time that the leading roles were played by Johnny Weissmüller and Mauren O’Sullivan.

The writer and journalist Luz Sánchez-Mellado took part in the last session of the MuVIM’s cinema and debate series “Big Bang Dones” focused on the analysis of the new ways of understanding and living motherhood. This is the last taboo which must be overcome by women, as it seems that every one of them should feel and seem happy and grateful to be a mother, without any right to complaint, dissatisfaction or ambivalence feelings. In this article prepared for the occasion, Luz Sánchez-Mellado confesses that, despite being a mother, she has never felt such thing called maternal instinct and that her experience with motherhood is at least, ambivalent.
