Film Synopsis
Far from the Trees (1972) follows a haunting documentary journey through Spain’s most archaic and unsettling folk rituals, capturing scenes of animal sacrifice, religious penance, and communal suffering. With no narration or judgment, the film exposes the collision between superstition, tradition, and modernity under Franco’s Spain. This transgressive ethnographic documentary blends realism and surreal horror in Jacinto Esteva’s stark meditation on cruelty, faith, and cultural decay.
