Celebrating 50 years of Experimental Spanish Cinema, The Free Screen: From Ecstasy to Rapture, finishes its run at the TIFF Bell Lightbox with Iván Zulueta’s Arrebato.

Described as a “raw, personal and unquestionably strange work,” Arrebato combines many of the techiniques for which Zulueta is well known, and addresses themes that mystified the director from an early age. Produced in 1980, this eerie film is rumoured to have almost collapsed because of the “drug-fuelled atmosphere of its making.” See Arrebato tonight at the TIFF Bell Lightbox at 7pm – admission is free.
