Shirley Temple Story
Antoni Padrós
Rosa Morata, Montse Fontova
A humorously distorted version of the life of Shirley Temple, and described by its director as a terrorist musical. Shirley Temple sets off for the Emerald City to tell the Wizard that she is upset that Judy Garland has been selected for the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. On this trip she is accompanied by a group of characters who make reference to a fragmented, bipolar society. The film was begun as Franco was ill and completed after his death, and makes reference to the oppression of Spain during this period.

Pim, pam, pum, revolución
Antoni Padrós
Rosa Morata, Jordi Batiste
Short film dedicated to the "established order" (yet made clearly outside of it) and drawing from the protests of 1968 and the struggle for socialist revolution, it also challenges the Catholicism and nationalism of Franco's Spain. It depicts the breakdown of a relationship, as the woman leaves for Germany where the Marxist struggle needs her help, and the man mocks her revolutionary ideals.

Fragmentos para una historia del otro cine español
Andrés Hispano
Frederic Amat, Adolfo Arrieta
Documentary about the history of experimental cinema in Spain. FRAGMENTS is a historical survey of “the other” Spanish Cinema — films that brazenly explored their artistic, poetic and conceptual potential. Spanish experimental cinema can be glimpsed in a series of important yet isolated events that FRAGMENTS compiles through various firsthand accounts, film excerpts and documents. For the first time in Spain, a documentary brings together the most relevant of a cinema that is slowly losing its invisibility.

Dafnis y Cloe
Antoni Padrós
Rosa Morata, Toni Martínez
Daphnis and Chloe wander through a forest, intercut with shots of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and following no clear chronological trajectory, in a questioning of sexual roles and the permissible standards of Franco-era cinema.

Alice Has Discovered the Napalm Bomb
Antoni Padrós
Pilu Puigmarti, Jaume Royo
(Very) loosely based on Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, with a soundtrack partly from Cream and Tuli Kupferberg, and shot in the cemetery of Terrassa, this film presents a protest of American imperialism and the Vietnam War.

Lock-Out
Antoni Padrós
Rosa Morata, Marta Vives
An allegory of political oppression under Franco, with a plot alternating between narrative sequences and dream-like moments styled after the Spanish avant garde. Padrós employs a range of musical forms including opera, scores, and choreography to underscore a plot featuring a group of dropouts living in a junkyard who try to re-integrate with "The System" as represented by a party.

Els Porcs
Antoni Padrós
Rosa Morata
Short film based on a real news item in which a student from Ohio was sentenced to spend three hours in a pigsty to learn to differentiate between a pig and a policeman. It shows a group of friends which make up a surreal symphony of people counting pigs and the actress Rosa Morata, dressed like a decadent cabaret performer, who unsuccessfully tries to escape from a runaway herd of men.
