La doble vida del faquir  /  Els nens de Rússia

This documentary recounts the production of an earlier film, Imitando el faquir (1937), by wealthy industrialist and amateur filmmaker Felip Sagués, who sought wartime refuge in a small Catalan village and produced his fantastic film with the elaborately costumed students of a local Catholic school for orphans.  The child actors, now grown, relive the experience at a reunion and screening in their old school, recalling the headiness of the project, and their war experience.

35mm, color, in Catalan and Spanish with English subtitles, 90 min.  DIR: Elisabet Cabeza, Esteve Riambau.
