logo FICM
A documentary about the film directed by Buñuel in 1950 and inscribed in the UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. Analysing the importance of Goya in the film’s conception, the camera returns to the places where the film was shot, while talking to researchers and filmmakers who were influenced by this film. The Young and the Damned goes beyond Italian neorealism to give voice to the dispossessed and denounce the injustice they experience. See More

Buñuel, a Surrealist Filmmaker

Luis Buñuel, precursor of surrealist film, always maintained references to the postulates of this cinematic avant-garde throughout his career. With his distinctive sense of humor, Buñuel continuously integrated memories of his childhood and youth—a driving force behind the uniqueness of his work. Buñuel’s films convey his worldview, ideas, doubts, and storytelling prowess without ever sacrificing his most intimate obsessions.
