A new adventure of Parchís.

"Flights…One of the most import ports in Spain. People… Antxo, Donibane, San Pedro. Homes with tradition, parties, streets, port workers, women salting fish, mending fishing nets…" Javier Aguirre

In the sixties, just before starting his career as a feature film director and his parallel career of the Anticine, Javier Aguirre had a brief career as a documentary filmmaker, which served him to test and rehearse many procedures that he would put into practice in the avant-garde aspect of his work. The trail belongs to that period, a few years full of mystery, but whose works are emerging demonstrating the portentous gaze of Aguirre. The trace has hardly been seen in the last sixty years, and it is an opportunity to recover this vision between anthropology and the vanguard of one of the hallmarks of this city. The film has been restored by the ECAM Archive in collaboration with Filmoteca Española.

"The film as a whole tries to ensure that the image has no sound and the sound has no image so that the viewer is the one who re-elaborates in his mind the fusion of both." Javier Aguirre

"I consider that Espacio dos and Tiempo dos must be considered as important works . Moreover, I affirm that, together with Tierra sin pan and Cuenca, it is the only truly important thing that has been done in Spain within the documentary genre." Javier Sagastizábal

"That film so cynical, so sadistic, so anarchic and fierce, entitled "Unusual beach", of extraordinary aesthetic value."

"Tiempo dos is a melancholic and sad movie. Soft gray and poetically evocative. It is made with the heart. It has purity, it denotes clarity and is sharp and concise. The image that most remains me is that of the old-fashioned photographic apparatus protected from the rain by the umbrella" Rafael Alberti

short Spanish experimental film

In 2022, the original negative of the film Javier Aguirre created in 1973 was found. It had never been shown, due to the threat of censorship, which had already targeted his short film Che Che Che. Aguirre himself had written in the label Manifiesto Horizontal. It is the Communist Manifest written horizontally with transparent glue on 35mm film. Aguirre stated that this piece “is born out precision, geometrical thinking (…) and when something happens by chance, that chance has been thoroughly studied.”
