Nemesio M. Sobrevila

Died in 1969

Nemesio Manuel Sobrevila was born in Bilbao in 1889. Trained in architecture in Barcelona and Paris, he came to cinema in 1927. A satire he devoted to a healer was banned under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, and a project produced by Luis Buñuel came to nothing in 1935. During the Civil War, he worked for the Basque government, for which he made the documentary Guernika; sentenced to death by the Franco regime, he went into exile in Argentina, then returned to San Sebastián, where he died in 1969.
