Home movie day: The Amateur Cinema of Luis Roig D’alós

A collection of amateur films shot in the 1940s by Valencian restorer Luis Roig D’Alós (1904–1968). These 16mm silent black-and-white films capture everyday life in postwar València. The collection includes historically and sociologically significant footage: the restoration of the Church of Santos Juanes, the 25th anniversary of the Pontifical Coronation of the Virgen de los Desamparados with previously unseen images of political and ecclesiastical figures, and sailing regattas on Nazaret Beach, set against the now-ruined Benimar sports and leisure complex.

The screening will be accompanied by live piano music from Alba Real, with a presentation by Inma Trull, Head of Restoration at La Filmoteca, and Sara Mansanet, Director of the Mostra de València–Cinema del Mediterrani. Free admission.
