Frederic Amat

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.

Amat’s use of thread captured in the frames of a projector has been compared to the avant-garde work of Stan Brakhage.

The exhibition, which coincides with the birth centenary of the poet Federico García Lorca, proposes a realistic recreation in images by Frederic Amat of the poet's screenplay Trip to the Moon. The aim, according to Amat, is to unravel the mysteries of the screenplay, an effort to distill its essence, silhouetting his poetic suggestion and let the script itself manifests in the different film procedures that invites the Lorquian conception.

Four part anthology horror film, with segments featuring witchcraft, ghosts, Frankenstein and his monster, and ancient Christians battling Celtic vampires.
