Shot on the sly while Jesús Franco shot his own Count Dracula, Vampir-Cuadecuc remixes making-of footage alongside an investigation into the figure of the vampire. Boasting a roaring score and high-contrast black and white, the fantasmic materialism of Portabella’s early experiment deconstructs the dominant cinematic and political narratives of the Franco regime.
