Diego
a film by Frédéric Goldbronn 39'The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was also an unprecedented attempt at libertarianism. Diego Camacho is one of the last witnesses to this experience, which marked his whole life.
Frédéric Goldbronn invites him to comment on a selection of photos from the period, some of which focus on memories directly experienced, while others refer to scenes from his "family novel". This is a film about the work of memory, based on a double device: it uses original iconography from the Spanish War to question the memory of one of its last survivors, and at the same time, uses living memory to question photographic memory.
