Carlos Benpar is a key figure for understanding cinema in our country, noted for his moral discipline and his vision of cinema as spectacle. His work combines traditional filming techniques with digital tools, always advocating for cultural creation as a space vulnerable to ideological, economic, and political censorship.

The film director's career, originally from El Clot, dates back to 1968 with the filming of his first feature film, Soplo de esplendor. This film was presented at the Locarno Festival five years later, in 1973.

In addition to his work as a filmmaker, Benpar has also published four books. His latest work, Tótem sin tabú, is a collection of memoirs addressing themes such as cinema, his relationship with his mother, love, and the constant presence of death.
