Creator of an extraordinary technological and artistic talent, "believer in cinema" and brightened by new horizons that were formed through the initials PLAT - (Spanish for) equivalent to the totaling concept Pict-lumen-audio-touch -, Val del Omar was contemporary and comrade in the Spanish Generation of 27, along with Lorca, Cernuda, Zambrano and co. En 1928 he had already anticipated some of his most characteristic techniques, like the concept of "touching vision". His work and his insistent researching activity, despite the confusion and oblivion that experimental cinema usually drags along, didn't begin to be "discovered" until not long after his death, is still bringing fans. As a curious fact, this Spanish director used to write "No end" at the end of his films.
