Including Petter Hutton's New York, Near Sleep (for Saskia) (1972), Les Blank's Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (1980), and David Sherman's Tuning the Sleeping Machine (1996), the selection of experimental film shorts reflects a range of approaches to cinematic dreaming.

Featuring numerous restored prints and preservation video transfers, this important international touring programme provides a rare overview of an alternative national cinema whose contribution to the international avant-garde stretches far beyond the renowned legacy of Dali and Buñuel. Presented in six programmes arranged by theme and technique rather than chronology, and including two feature-length cult masterworks, this series was curated by Antoni Pinent for the Contemporary Cultural Centre in Barcelona. We give special thanks to Gloria Vilches (CCCB) for making possible the Toronto premiere of these films. Andréa Picard CREDIT LINE From Ecstasy to Rapture: 50 Years of the other Spanish Cinema An Xcèntric Programme, the Cinema of the CCCB. Produced by CCCB Contemporary Culture Centre of Barcelona SEACEX State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation / Ministry of Culture (Spain) With the support of ICIC / Cinematheque of Catalunya DOCUMENTS / ITINERARIES A programme of shorts and réalités beginning with a film by José Val del Omar, a visionary filmmaker and one of the most relevant and enigmatic figures to emerge within the Spanish film industry. The stark but ravishing Fuego en Castilla, which won an award at Cannes in 1961, forms part of his unfinished Tríptico elemental de España, which both fascinated and baffled the Francoist authorities. Other filmmakers included are the architect Gabriel Blanco, better known as an animator but represented here by a documentary depicting a typical Sunday for a Spanish citizen in an outlying urban area; the multidisciplinary artists Benet Rossell and Antoni Miralda, presenting a look at military iconography; and celebrated filmmaker and documentarian José Luis Guerin (In the City of Sylvia, Guest), who, after debuting with his full-length 1983 feature Los motivos de Berta, created the short essay film Souvenir. The programme concludes with a documentary by Virginia García del Pino about people exercising professions having to do with death, dirt or sex. Fuego en Castilla dir.

Governmental restrictions made STRIKE the only completed film of a series intended to portray the road to revolution.
