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.
Oriol Sánchez (b.Barcelona, 1977) is a spanish artist that works with film, video, installation and preformances. He has curated several experimetnal film and video shows. Artist's statement “My works, whether on film or video, are placed on the limits of representation and narrative. Starting from experimental animation, documentary and the appropriation of images, they arise from an interest in exploring the relationship between sound and image over time. They are a constant concern for rhythmic, materialistic and emotional potential of images, always close to a plastic abstraction and / or highly schematic figurative reality, where the characters, if any, beyond psychology, are treated as figures or icons, their gestures, looks or expressions are interlaced with the rhythms and textures of the image and populate a kind of interior landscape”.
