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.

Analysis of the work of Luis Buñuel in fifty mini chapters. A co-production of Arsenal Films, Barcelona International Film Festival and Ovideo TV in collaboration with the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP). The film won the 1st Prize at the European Biennial for the Conservation of European Cultural Heritage.

"This animism of spaces takes on unusual dimensions in Villa Dionisia (2003-2019), where a family house is portrayed as a metaphor for cinematographic apparatus. The continuous coming and going of lights and shadows illuminates the interior of the house and links it to the exterior - a garden table, a dish with red fruits, a forest path leading to a lake where two children are moving around at the end of summer - assembling memories and childhoods." ⁠— Celeste Araújo
