«Debut y despedida» is Miguel Ángel Rivas's essay on Spanish directors of a single film (Editorial Ariel, paperback, 176 pp.).
Miguel Ángel Rivas surveys 287 Spanish directors who made only one film and examines why they never returned behind the camera: commercial failure, burnout, indifference, or abandonment. The book traces the history of Spanish cinema through these frustrated careers and reflects on the difficulties a novice filmmaker faces in getting their debut feature off the ground.
Volume in the Ariel Cine collection, published in 2001. The edition includes a final bibliography.
Will appeal to fans of Spanish cinema and those wanting to discover truncated careers and oddities of film history.
