One of the fundamental figures of American avant garde cinema, Larry Gottheim has composed a diverse body of work over the span of nearly 50 years. His films stretch the boundaries of cinema as a vessel for deeply personal and philosophical expression and explore the rich blurred zone between the life of the mind and the material world. With these films, which were sewn together in the 1980s from a mixture of freshly filmed and found elements, Gottheim has crafted two utterly unique and poetic meditations on memory, paranoia, nature, and music.

Self-taught filmmaker and architect, Juan Sebastián Bollaín has been making films since the 1960s, mixing his two study disciplines along the years in a series of films that reinvent the urbanism of the most traditional and religious city in Spain: Sevilla, Andalusia, the heart of the Spanish clichés, Holy Week and flamenco. At the end of the 1970s, using super 8 and various tricks and montage strategies, he made a series of imaginative visions of the city, delirious utopias full of humor, surrealist and poignant images, and lucid ideas that shake the core of the conceptions about the city.
