In association with the International Women s Associates Spanish Group, the Instituto Cervantes welcomes Jack Weiner, Professor emeritus of Northern Illinois University. Menjant Garotes is an approximately three minute documentary of the father and step-mother of the Catal n artist Salvador Dal . Rarely studied, this film is nonetheless fundamental to understanding Bu uel, who, I believe, based his practice on a sophisticated awareness of past and present forms of artistic and ethnographic photography and film. In Tierra sin pan , Bu uel once again brings together recognizable forms of representing rural culture, and Extremadura specifically, that were circulating in Spain and abroad during this period.
