“Produced and directed by Spanish filmmaker Oriol Porta of AreaTV, ‘Hollywood’
"After a successful festival tour with several wins, and a theatrical release in Spain last fall under the title “Hollywood Contra Franco”, the rest of the world will finally be able to enjoy the research and literary characteristics of this picture. It’s a testament to both the creative process in historic documentary filmmaking and a succinct reminder that we still do not know all there is to know about the forces that shaped the rise and fall of so many behind the silver screen during the golden age of Hollywood.” Said Mr Shannon.
