In these two works by the radical Catalan filmmaker Pere Portabella, music, art and architecture provide the starting point for a beguiling, and often playful, exploration of European history. The acclaimed 'The Silence Before Bach' unfolds as a meditation on the harmonies and rhythms of J S Bach's sublime music, investigating the profound relationship between image and sound. 'Mudanza' quietly records the removal of furniture, art and household goods from the home of assassinated Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, inviting the viewer to move through the empty spaces that remain, and to contemplate what is lost.
