Pere Portabella: la mirada compromesa

In the context of "Acció Portabella", an initiative celebrating the centenary of the filmmaker, a programme of screenings dedicated to his films expands the constellation of practices around the moving image present in the museum's collection. His work belongs to a moment marked by censorship and the lack of freedoms, when cinema also became a way of making visible what remained outside the frame. Portabella works from the margins of the industry and of established languages, and builds a cinema that eludes linear narration in order to open spaces for reading and thought. With this gesture, he links the image to forms of clandestinity, resistance and the exposure of what remains hidden. You can find more information about the exhibition "Pere Portabella: la mirada compromesa" on the website of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
