Directory of Spanish and Portuguese Film-Makers and Films
Editorial Reviews
Review
“In possibly the most valuable ready reference source concerning 215 directors from these countries, Espana lists directors in alphabetical order, each with a one-paragraph biographical note. The director's short films and feature films, plus television productions shot on film, are dated by year of production. Each Spanish title is followed by an English translation. Espana's work is truly encyclopedic in scope, and is unique and useful for advanced film students, researchers, and people in the film industry.”–
Book Description
This new book catalogues some 215 prominent film directors from both countries, giving accurate bio-filmographies and providing an in-depth reference source. Full attention is given to the propaganda cinema under dictators Franco and Salazar, to film-makers who left to work abroad--especially in Latin America--and to those filming in the regional languages (mainly Basque and Catalan). There is coverage not only of internationally well-known figures Almodovar, Bunuel, Oliveira, and Saura, but also across the complete range of feature, documentary, and animation film-making.
