Complete compilation of the cinematographies of the Spanish director José Val del Omar.
The complete work of one of the most admired directors in the history of our cinema. José Val del Omar is considered the pioneer of Spanish experimental cinema. Creator of an extraordinary artistic and technological talent, "believer in cinema" and enlightened by new horizons that he formulated by means of the acronym PLAT -which are equivalent to the totalizing concept of Picto-Lumínica-Audio-Táctil-, Val del Omar was contemporary and comrade of Lorca, Cernuda, Renau, Zambrano and other names older than a Silver Age truncated with the Civil War. In 1928 he anticipated several of his most characteristic techniques, including the '' panoramic image overflow '' outside the limits of the screen and the concept of '' tactile vision ''. These techniques, and those of '' diaphonic sound '' and other explorations in the sound field, he would apply in his Elemental Triptych of Spain, begun in 1952 and only concluded posthumously. For his work and his tenacious investigative activity - against the grain of misunderstanding and oblivion - did not begin to be rediscovered until shortly before his death, being instead the beginning of a renaissance that continues to gain adherents. '' Endless '' as he put it at the end of his films.
