Miró l'altre

As publicity for the exhibit Miró Otro, organized by the Col.legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya in 1969, the Board commissioned Pere Portabella to film Miró painting the mural for the exhibit on the ground floor windows of the building. Portabella was not interested in simply filming a testimonial documentary. However, he said he would do the film if at the end of the exhibit Joan Miró himself, with the help of the cleaning staff would erase his own paintings. Joan Miró accepted the idea without a doubt. The complicity between the filmmaker and the painter is evident in the filming.
