L’home precís

Daphnis and Chloe wander through a forest, intercut with shots of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and following no clear chronological trajectory, in a questioning of sexual roles and the permissible standards of Franco-era cinema.

A short film about a mysterious ceremony, based on an essay by William S. Burroughs.

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 events that FRAGMENTS compiles through various firsthand accounts, film excerpts and documents. For the first time in Spain, a documentary brings together the most relevant of a cinema that is slowly losing its invisibility.

(Very) loosely based on Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, with a soundtrack partly from Cream and Tuli Kupferberg, and shot in the cemetery of Terrassa, this film presents a protest of American imperialism and the Vietnam War.

A humorously distorted version of the life of Shirley Temple, and described by its director as a terrorist musical. Shirley Temple sets off for the Emerald City to tell the Wizard that she is upset that Judy Garland has been selected for the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. On this trip she is accompanied by a group of characters who make reference to a fragmented, bipolar society. The film was begun as Franco was ill and completed after his death, and makes reference to the oppression of Spain during this period.

An allegory of political oppression under Franco, with a plot alternating between narrative sequences and dream-like moments styled after the Spanish avant garde. Padrós employs a range of musical forms including opera, scores, and choreography to underscore a plot featuring a group of dropouts living in a junkyard who try to re-integrate with "The System" as represented by a party.
