The Edificio Rialto, home of the Valencian Film Archive, brings back NO COMPTEU AMB ELS DITS, an experimental short film directed by Pere Portabella in 1967. Lasting 28 minutes, this work questions the narrative conventions of commercial cinema and explores new storytelling forms through linguistic play and striking visual metaphors.
What’s being screened
NO COMPTEU AMB ELS DITS (Don’t Count on Your Fingers) is a cinematic exercise that breaks away from the Aristotelian structure of traditional film. The movie relies on the relationship between seemingly disconnected images, inviting viewers to interpret its meaning. Portabella, a key figure in Spanish experimental cinema, uses this format to reflect on the boundaries of cinematic language and institutional production.
