Vampir-Cuadecuc

  • September 18, 2022 / 18:00

Director: Pere Portabella
1970, 75', b&w
English with Turkish subtitles 

Shot opportunistically in 16mm with sound negative on the set of Jesús Franco’s Count Dracula, Pere Portabella’s parasite film is, in his own words, ‘a film within a film, a discourse within a discourse, in other words, a “bloodsucking film” of another.’ A filmic landmark of the Spanish anti-establishment cinema of the 1960s and 70s, Portabella’s Vampir-Cuadecuc exemplifies the clandestine strategies employed by avant-garde filmmakers under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.
