Introduction (Pere Portabella)
Pere Portabella
Pere Portabella played a key role in Spanish cinema's transition out of dictatorship, produced landmark films including Luis Buñuel's Viridiana (1961), and introduced an experimental, poetic sensibility that continues to fascinate and inspire. After watching our portrait film in this room, further explore Portabella's work as a producer and filmmaker during the dictatorship of the 1960s and the transitions of the 1970s in Room 2. Discover the influence of Catalonian Romanesque art, dialogues with the eminent painter and sculptor Joan Miró, Portabella's treatment of space and movement, and his approach to sound and music in Room 3.
