This documentary directed by Andrés Hispano and produced by La Chula Productions, TVE and the CCCB takes a look at the history of the least conventional Spanish cinema in an uncompromising exploration of its artistic, visual, poetic and conceptual potential. Fragmentos reconstructs the flickering existence of this cinema using testimonies, sequences and documents. For the first time, a documentary brings together the most significant moments in a cinema that is slowly ceasing to be invisible.
Premiered at the Sitges International Film Festival (October 2010) and broadcast by TVE-2 in January 2011.
