Néstor Almendros Film Season
The film season devoted to Néstor Almendros invites audiences to rediscover one of the most distinctive and decisive figures in the history of contemporary cinema. Born in Barcelona in 1930 and marked by exile — first under Francoism, then under Castroism — Almendros built a nomadic career that led him to work between France, Italy, the United States and his hometown, always faithful to his own vision.
About this event
The retrospective offers a broad journey through his work, going beyond the titles for which he is internationally renowned as a cinematographer. Alongside seminal films by Rohmer, Truffaut and Terrence Malick, the season focuses on his documentaries and experimental works, which reveal a committed creator attentive to the political and social tensions of his time.
Almendros showed that natural light could be a radical and poetic gesture, and that technical simplicity could turn an image into cinematic truth. His name, associated with some of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century, also belongs to an author with a firm ethic and a profoundly human sensitivity. This season is an opportunity to view his work from every angle and understand why he remains an indispensable reference.
