Biography

Lorenzo Llobet Gràcia was a Spanish film director. He started young in amateur cinema, where he developed his skills as a director. He made several short films and the feature film Life in Shadows, a work that had problems with Franco's censorship for placing the context of the story during the Spanish civil war. The cultural authorities ignored it, depriving it of subsidies and visibility, thus truncating the director's promising career.
