Aidez lEspagne

The Colegio de Arquitectos de Catalunya commissioned Pere Portabella to make this film for the Joan Miró retrospective exhibit in 1969 There were heated discussions on whether it would be prudent to screen the film during the exhibit Portabella took the following stance either both films are screened or they dont screen any and finally both Miro lAltre and Aidez lEspagne were shown The film was made by combining newsreels and film material from the Spanish Civil War with prints by Miró from the series Barcelona 19391944 The film ends with the painters pochoir known as Aidez lEspagne
