End of Summer

Enrique Vila-Matas directed in 1969 a black and white short film entitled "All the sad young people". The copy was lost and today there are only a few photographs of the shooting. In 1970 he directed his second work, "End of Summer", played by Maria Reniu, Luis Ciges and Yvonne Sentís and photographed by Xabier Miserachs. The film was premiered at the Benalmádena festival in 1971. The second exhibition took place 39 years later at The Peripheral Film Festival (S8) in La Coruña in a program dedicated to opere prime of filmmakers of the Spanish transition and which had as title: "Peter Pan in the cinema of the Spanish transition"

Directed by Enrique Vila-Matas, End of Summer leans on a strong ensemble — María Reniu, Luis Ciges, Ivonne Sentis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1970.
