Llorenç Soler

Documentary about the history of experimental cinema in Spain. FRAGMENTS is a historical survey of “the other” Spanish Cinema — films that brazenly explored their artistic, poetic and conceptual potential. Spanish experimental cinema can be glimpsed in a series of important yet isolated events that FRAGMENTS compiles through various firsthand accounts, film excerpts and documents. For the first time in Spain, a documentary brings together the most relevant of a cinema that is slowly losing its invisibility.

Life and filmography of Llorenç Soler (1936 – 2022), a creative pioneer of independent documentary cinema under Franco's dictatorial regime in Spain during the 1960s and '70s, when the information monopoly belonged to state-controlled NO-DO newsreels and RTVE, tools of political propaganda.

Film divided into three parts in which the Valencian musician Carles Santos explores various sonorities, using the image as a means of expression.

Martí Rom presents a monograph dedicated to the figure of Llorenç Soler, who was his colleague during his time at Central del Curt and a collaborator on several works in his filmography.

A documentary structured as a series of interviews in which Joaquim Jordà, both on his own and in dialogue with José Luis Guerín, Llorenç Soler or Esteve Riambau, reviews his career, the Barcelona School, his opinions on cinema and documentary, etc.
