Descartes

Descartes is a film essay that was born after a long investigation into the documentary film Rocío (1980) by Fernando Ruiz Vergara, censored in Spain in the 1980s for marking out one of those responsible for the fascist crimes in Andalusia during the Spanish civil war. Synopsis: In 2016, an investigation is carried out in Filmoteca Española for information on the documentary film Rocío, which had been censored in the early 1980s. Among the materials deposited in its warehouses were 260 rolls of 16 mm negative. They were the discarded parts of the footage that was left out of the final version. The forgotten images of a banned film that come to life on the screen after forty years.
