Water-Mirror of Granada (Aguaespejo Granadino)

This beautifully impressionistic portrait of the Alhambra forms the first part of José Val del Omar's Elementary Triptych of Spain, a patch-work of time-lapse footage, documentary snippets and colour filters all underscored by a rhythmic, diaphonic soundtrack that was way ahead of its time.

José Val del Omar was a restless experimental filmmaker and inventor of audio-visual gadgetry who somehow managed to carve out a career in Franco's Spain. This beautifully impressionistic portrait of the Alhambra forms the first part of his Elementary Triptych of Spain, a patch-work of time-lapse footage, documentary snippets and colour filters all underscored by a rhythmic, diaphonic soundtrack that was way ahead of its time. Please note that this film includes some stroboscopic effects.

The film will play on a loop from 11am.
