The Film Lovers Society Presents | World Premiere: Inside Picasso’s Head
San Miguel’s Film Lovers Society invites you to the world premiere of “Inside Picasso’s Head,” a documentary that reimagines Henri-Georges Clouzot’s iconic 1956 film “The Mystery of Picasso,” this time set to an entirely new soundtrack. Unfolding in French with English subtitles, the film gives viewers an immersive experience, delving into the creative psyche of Pablo Picasso and transforming Clouzot’s pioneering visual experiment into a personal meditation on artistic process and inspiration.
Through evocative sound and rhythmic editing, “Inside Picasso’s Head” offers more than just a glimpse at Picasso’s technique—it invites the audience to listen to the painter’s silence, pulse, and imagination as he brings his work to life. After the screening at Teatro Santa Ana, director Elías Nahmías will join for an in-person discussion about the making of the film, providing rare insights into both documentary filmmaking and the mysteries of creative genius.
Don’t miss this special cinematic event, where art, music, and dialogue converge—an ideal occasion for film lovers, artists, and anyone seeking inspiration on the journey of creation itself.
