De Salamanca a ninguna parte

Chema de la Peña

Human portrait of a generation of filmmakers, born as a result of the Salamanca Conversations (1955), who tried to show throughout the 60s the social reality of our country. Beyond the review of some times, or a description of the facts, we have tried to approach the looks, the memories, the silences, the desires and the struggle of its protagonists. Because in those years Patino, Borau, Camus, Picazo, Summers and Saura set out to do something that no one had asked them to do: a different, critical, innovative and personal cinema, values that we miss today.
