“The next film of Cavalcanti, La p’tite Lili (1927), was going to be praised in the same way by the gacetistas. It showed how the Brazilian director was one of the referents of the Spanish group. Although Rien que les heurs was promised since the first announcement of the Cineclub, it was never screened in the sessions, perhaps because of problems with distributors. On the other hand, La p’tite Lili was exhibited as a remarkable example of avant-garde, not only in the Madrilenian Cineclub, but also in the provincial satellites.”
