Synopsis

The Colegio de Arquitectos de Catalunya commissioned Pere Portabella to create the film for the Joan Miró retrospective exhibition in 1969. There were heated discussions about whether it was prudent to screen the film during the exhibit. Portabella took the position that "either both films are screened or they don't screen any," and in the end, both *Miro l'Altre* and *Aidez l'Espagne* were shown. The film combines newsreels and film footage from the Spanish Civil War with prints by Miró from the "Barcelona" series (1939–1944). The film concludes with the painter's "pochoir" titled *Aidez l'Espagne*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
