La Movida Madrilea 1975/85 exhibition Film / Cinema


La Movida was a creative, cross-discipline, counter-cultural movement that took over a neglected Spanish society between the late 1970’s to

Simmering beneath Franco’s Spain, a dictatorship that had ruled over the country for decades, La Movida was an outburst of creative expression that shaped the period of transition from a nation repressed under Franco, to an emerging, free thinking, more liberally minded Spain. With the death of the dictator, these musicians and artists were able to freely express and document a very different Spain to the one being portrayed in the mainstream. Whilst music was its main form of expression, all art forms were used to explore the marginalised as in: pornography, gender roles and homosexuality.

La Movida’s favourite son is Pedro Almodóvar, whose first films such as “Pepi, Luci, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón” (1980) reflect the spirit of the movement. Other notable film directors of the time were: Fernando Trueba, Fernando Colomo and Ivan Zulueta.

La Movida’s preferred place to hangout was the Malasaña area of Madrid. Young people would meet in the Rock Ola (a temple of the Movida Movement). El Sol, La Vía Lactea, Carolina y el Penta, venues where you could hear live music & dj’s playing the latest sounds. Short films and paintings were projected onto the walls. The attitude and focus of the music were similar to the British New Wave or the Neue Deutsche Welle in that it mixed styles such as punk with rock as well as having strong influences from synthetic pop.

The London La Movida exhibition has already secured two of the most Influential photographers of the time, Ouka Leele and Miguel Trillo who between them captured some of the most iconic and timeless images of the Movida. This exhibition and project is jointly produced and curated by Red Gallery and Miguel Borrego, Instituto Cervantes London and Spanish Embassy.
