Quote:
Five ex political prisoners (Narciso Julián, 24 years in prison – PSUC; Angel Abad, 7 years in prison – PSUC; Antonio Marín, 8 years in prison – CCOO; Lola Ferreira, 3 years in prison – PCML; Jordi Cunill, 10 years in prison – Juventudes Libertarias de Cataluña) meet secretly in a country house one afternoon in 1974, the same day that Salvador Puig Antich is executed, to talk about their experiences in prison. After discussing hunger strikes, ways of keeping up the fight, loss of touch with reality, etc., an unexpected situation arises when one of the ex prisoners sings the praises of life in prison. The forceful response of one of his colleagues does not do away with the cathartic effect of the confession.

The post Pere Portabella – El sopar aka The Supper (1974) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
Portabella’s first feature, co-scripted by poet Joan Brossa, became one of the most influential works of the Barcelona avant-garde, although like all his early films, it circulated only in an underground fashion. Eschewing dialogue, the director constructs a non-narrative story in fragments that reveal the daily lives of an adulterous couple interspersed with a cryptic stream of unrelated imagery. The title of this homage to directors including Eisenstein, Antonioni, Bergman, and Buñuel refers to the 29 “black years” of the Franco dictatorship.

Quote:
The medium-length film No compteu amb els dits, Pere Portabella’s first work as a director, starts with the following phrase: “defeated…but not conquered”. This may or should be taken as an allusion to the technical K.O. taken by Portabella from Franco’s regime during the sixties as regards his work as a producer. Through the extremely raging playthings of the words of Catalan poet Joan Brossa, Portabella attempts to dismantle the forms of advertising discourse of that time. —pereportabella.com

The post Pere Portabella – No compteu amb els dits (1967) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Shot in the months after the death of Franco, Informe general is a “documentary” shot with the techniques of a fiction film—exploring the limits of film representations. The speakers are concerned with one question: How do you go from a dictatorship to a democracy?

The lucid, radical work of Pere Portabella creates an invaluable space for rethinking reality, fiction and the political dimension of both. We’re honoured to present two films that bridge crucial moments in the History of Spain (and Europe) starting with this monumental landmark of activist cinema.
