MovieDocumentary
A documentary that takes an emotional journey through the life and career of David Delfín, a unique, controversial, and revolutionary artist who was much more than a fashion designer. It portrays a complete and multidisciplinary creator who used couture to express himself and the catwalk as his megaphone. Beginning with the scandalous 2002 Cour des miracles show—known as “the rope show”—the film explores his artistic vision and his intimate world as a son, brother, boyfriend, and friend. Through moving testimonies from those closest to him, it reveals both his brilliance and vulnerability. In a tragic twist of fate, Delfín and his soulmate, model Bimba Bosé, were both diagnosed with cancer at nearly the same time; she died in January 2017, and he followed five months later.

La Bola de Cristal was a Spanish TV Show that aired on TVE from 1984 to 1988. The show was the brainchild of Spanish writer Dolores Rico Oliver and was hosted by pop singer Alaska. The show, which was ostensibly targeted at a young audience, reflected the spirit of the times, that of the post-Franco Spanish transition and of the cultural and musical movement known as la movida. In contrast to previous shows, with a very childish use of language, it had continuous puns related to electronics: the Electroduendes puppets included Maese Cámara, Hada Vídeo and Bruja Avería as regular characters.
