El sopar, Pere Portabella, Spain, 1974, 60', OV in Spanish, DCP.
Five former political prisoners secretly met one afternoon in 1974, on the same day that Salvador Puig Antich was executed. Pere Portabella’s camera painstakingly filmed the table where they sat and talked, observed them in detail while their words and their faces created an enthralling exchange on the meaning of prison, the hunger strike, the detachment from reality and the struggle. Based on this masterpiece of Catalan activist films, we embark on a dialogue with Pere Portabella where we will outline his long film career and his track record of commitment.
Projection of the film 'El sopar' followed by a conversation between Pere Portabella and Pablo La Parra Pérez, framed within the international symposium 'The Capture of Speech'.
