A short, experimental documentary featuring sculptures by Alonso de Berruguete and Juan de Juni. Shot within the Valladolid National Museum, the film is an excercise in what Val de Omar called "Tactile vision".

Fire in Castilla (Tactilvision from the Moor of Fright)

Art used to be sculptures and buildings; now it's snuff fan-fics and solid colours on a canvas.

The editing, lighting, image, and sound are absolutely insane, and this is from the ’60s

amazing and fascinating use of light techniques, truly experimental film from the 60s. cinematography, sound and a cutscene-like style are something clear in this short film. its haunting imagery of the statues with the strong sounds, it left me amazed.

The fact that this was shot at Museum is insane. Some of the best cinematography I’ve ever watched.
