CLANDESTI: FORBIDDEN CATALAN CINEMA UNDER FRANCO
at The Film Society of Lincoln Center
May 8-12, 2009
Hit the Streets with a selfless band of independent filmmakers that exposed Franco’s dangerous regime, uncovered the nation’s lingering wounds, and altered the course of Spanish history.
CLANDESTI: FORBIDDEN CATALAN CINEMA UNDER FRANCO focuses on a generation of independent filmmakers whose innate unwillingness to conform forced them to produce, distribute, and exhibit radical clandestine films in Catalonia, with the furtive hope of sending them into the rest of Franco’s Spain. These films are so forbidden that for most of them, this is the first screening in the U.S. Guests in attendance.
