Stories of Our Cinema
El Productor
Fernando Méndez-Leite
A conspirator? A man with his own ideas, obstinate in making them come true? An arm-wrestler? The greatest mocker of Franco's censorship? Someone determined to change the world by putting a mirror in front of it? A schemer? The most important name in the history of Spanish cinema?.... For some, he is the prototype producer, guilty of the existence of many excellent films, discoverer of directors like Erice, Saura, Chávarri, Gutiérrez Aragón, Armendáriz, Ricardo Franco, Martínez Lázaro, Gracia Querejeta, Fernando León? For others, the cause of some of the most passionate controversies of our cinema. Elías Querejeta, a different look, a different cinema.

José Luis García Sánchez
Luis García Berlanga, Ángel Sánchez Harguindey
A walk through the work of Luis García Berlanga (1921-2010) that is neither a documentary nor a narrative movie, but a tribute to one of the greatest directors of Spanish cinema. Anything can happen: the performers are not themselves, but their characters; there are no interviews, but greetings; a series of entrances and exits. A joyful reunion, a celebration of life.
