“Constelación Portabella” (Portabella Constellation), the documentary about Pere Portabella directed by Claudio Zulian and co-produced by Acteon and Eddie Saeta, is presented at the 81st edition of the Mostra Internazionale d’arte cinematografica di Venezia.
The film, presented in the Venice Classics – Documentaries about Cinema section, is the first documentary dedicated to Pere Portabella, and takes us, through the testimony of the filmmaker and his extensive work (which includes films such as Vampir-Cuadecuc, El sopar or Informe general), through decades of the history of his country, from Franco’s regime to the present, including the Spanish Democratic Transition. He is accompanied on this journey by other figures of the cultural avant-garde, such as Joan Brossa, Carles Santos or Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
