This exhibition offers a journey through the film work of Pere Portabella, whose pieces are linked to a historical period marked by censorship and the lack of freedoms. Through this programme of screenings, visitors explore works that operate outside industrial circuits and traditional narrative codes, connecting the image with political resistance and visual experimentation.

The show is on at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona as part of an initiative marking the centenary of the director. The display brings together materials and films that show how the audiovisual medium can raise critical readings and strategies of clandestinity. It is aimed at audiences interested in contemporary art and in the experimental paths of the moving image, offering a perspective on a filmmaker who redefined the boundaries of cinematic language.
