“This volume on the emergence of the influential Barcelona School and its impact on the broader filmmaking culture in Catalonia offers a unique insight into the work of filmmakers whose impact has not always been recognised. A series of insightful essays recentres figures such as Pere Portabella and Joaquim Jordà, and provides bold treatments of the crop of Catalan filmmakers who have gone on to pick up their mantle: José Luis Guerín, Albert Serra, Isaki Lacuesta, and Jaime Rosales. If you want to understand where the women filmmakers who are currently shaking world cinema, including Carla Simón, Carla Subirana, and Neus Ballús, are coming from, this volume is a great place to start. An important contribution to Catalan cinema studies with an influence that goes beyond this vibrant national film culture to wider areas of avant-garde filmmaking.”
