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...

Film made with analog 35mm photo camera framed vertically. The sound that arises is caused by the image extending over the optical sound track. The content focuses on the descent made from a building in the Plaza de España in Madrid, honoring the great Spanish filmmaker Iván Zulueta. — AP

This project fits within my cameraless conceptual interests as a filmmaker. Specifically, this cinematographic proposal consists of projecting 35mm film on both sides and exploring the specificity of its transparency and the double soundtrack. As in my previous films, I am exploring different ways...

'i STiLL BELiEVE iN CELLULOiD.’

The starting point: the propositions from 1910’s and 1920’s about visual rhythm or visual music. We try to avoid the supposed failure explained by Jean Mitry and to propose a new way with the hope that the score of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata can be literally applied to the verticality of...

It has always been understood that the secret of movement lies in the decomposition of time. Aristotle was convinced that the horse in his gallop never rises completely from the ground. Only in the 1870s, Eadweard Muybridge, using a series of photographic devices operated by cables, observed the...

"[An] experiment that aims to highlight the number of shots of a specific scene [from Hitchcock's Psycho] by replacing the shot of the image with several of the credit titles from the same film [...] An early work, which would be the first official of Pinent's filmography, made when he was only 16...

FILM QUARTET / POLYFRAME is conceived as a small cinematographic bomb attempting to question the established definition of frame as the minimum unit of (cinematographic) time by dynamiting it in four fragments. A step further in the so-called sub-genre practice of found footage film – recycled...

Theoretical experiment that uses the technique of picto-cinematography, win which “the search for the temporal objective duration of painting” stands out; this comes to us via its real measurements on a 35mm film. This technique allows us to get “a new vision of a pictorial work” within a...

Chance proposes. We blindly commit to its potential, magnetism and instinct. We imagine or project inwardly with eyes closed. What will the result be...? From the steps taken and uncertain intentions, we stumble upon the mysteries of the creative act as we move forward… obstacles to resolve with...

Film-essay tribute to Paul Sharits’ artworks, focused on displaying and deconstructing cinema as an object, proposes a study of time and at the same time rends tribute to the master Sharits and his body of artwork. — AP

In this film the author looks back on his own artistic career, resuming his film (‘EXPERIMENTAL SKETCHES. 4,200 frames not moving away from home’), a semiabstract work, filmed on Super-8 format, and literally put onto 35mm format. […] Collage as radical realism in order for home-made Super-8...
