Spanish and Latin American Avant-Garde Film and Animation

Furthering our presentations of GME Streamline, we now offer digital site licenses as DVD/DSL bundles of films and videos from Spain and Latin America. These releases comprise 3 historical overviews of moving image works from Spain, encompassing experimental cinema (FROM ECSTASY TO RAPTURE), video art (VIDEO ITINERARIES FROM THE SPANISH CONTEXT) and animation (FROM DOODLES TO PIXELS: A JOURNEY THROUGH SPANISH ANIMATION).

In addition, we present digital publications of two under-recognized yet important cinema pioneers, Segundo de Chomón and Val Del Omar. Chomon was a rival of Méliès, and cinema poet Val Del Omar flourished during the Silver Age of Spanish Culture, alongside compatriot and friend Federico Garcia Lorca.

From Latin America, we offer an overview of avant-garde, documentary, animation and experimental films (CINE A CONTRACORRIENTE: A JOURNEY THROUGH OTHER LATIN AMERICAN CINEMA), as well as a retrospective of contemporary films from Mexican born artist Nicolás Pereda.
