 THE FREE SCREEN: FROM ECSTACY TO RAPTURE: 50 YEARS OF THE OTHER SPANISH
 CINEMA: SESSION 1  
  The first installment of The Free Screen at TIFF Bell Lightbox features
  From Ecstasy to Rapture: 50 Years of the other Spanish Cinema, an
  unprecedented retrospective of Spanish experimental cinema of the last
  half century. Featuring numerous restored prints and preservation video
  transfers, this important international touring programme provides a
  rare overview of an alternative national cinema whose contribution to
  the international avant-garde stretches far beyond the renowned legacy
  of Dali and Buñuel. Presented in six programmes arranged by theme and
  technique rather than chronology, and including two feature-length cult
  masterworks, this series was curated by Antoni Pinent for the
  Contemporary Cultural Centre in Barcelona. We give special thanks to
  Gloria Vilches (CCCB) for making possible the Toronto premiere of these
  films. –Andréa Picard  CREDIT LINE From Ecstasy to Rapture: 50 Years of
  the other Spanish Cinema An Xcèntric Programme, the Cinema of the CCCB.
  Produced by CCCB – Contemporary Culture Centre of Barcelona SEACEX –
  State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad Ministry of Foreign
  Affairs and Cooperation / Ministry of Culture (Spain) With the support
  of ICIC / Cinematheque of Catalunya DOCUMENTS / ITINERARIES A programme
  of shorts and réalités beginning with a film by José Val del Omar, a
  visionary filmmaker and one of the most relevant and enigmatic figures
  to emerge within the Spanish film industry. The stark but ravishing
  Fuego en Castilla, which won an award at Cannes in 1961, forms part of
  his unfinished Tríptico elemental de España, which both fascinated and
  baffled the Francoist authorities. Other filmmakers included are the
  architect Gabriel Blanco, better known as an animator but represented
  here by a documentary depicting a typical Sunday for a Spanish citizen
  in an outlying urban area; the multidisciplinary artists Benet Rossell
  and Antoni Miralda, presenting a look at military iconography; and
  celebrated filmmaker and documentarian José Luis Guerin (In the City of
  Sylvia, Guest), who, after debuting with his full-length 1983 feature
  Los motivos de Berta, created the short essay film Souvenir. The
  programme concludes with a documentary by Virginia García del Pino about
  people exercising professions having to do with death, dirt or sex.

New York: Anthology Film Archives

7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: STRIKE
  by Sergei Eisenstein With Russian intertitles; English synopsis
  available., 1925, 106 minutes, 35mm Film Notes Eisenstein's interest in
  the Freudian father complex drives this psychological scenario in which
  non-actors step forward to acknowledge the viewer, illustrating
  Eisenstein's desire to penetrate to the heart of cinema, sidestepping
  realism by "being real." Governmental restrictions made STRIKE the only
  completed film of a series intended to portray the road to revolution.
