A portrait to how we can destroy gender and stereotypes in our society.”
—Cinematismo
The life and art of controversial Andalusian painter, performance artist, and queer activist Ocaña are explored in this documentary from Catalan filmmaker Ventura Pons. Made at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in post-Franco Spain, OCAÑA: AN INTERMITTENT PORTRAIT is an enduring document not just of an artist at the peak of his powers but of a nation in a period of transition.
Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer, Elizabeth Purchell.
