Equipo Dos

Equipo Dos (1974-1976) was a Spanish independent film project of two young producers from Almeria, Fernando Pérez y José-María Siles.

They inspired the alternative scene in Spain from Andalusia and published a theory of whas had to be made to be creative and social responsable under the rule of a dictator .

Equipo Dos produced two documentaries in the last days of the Franco's dictatorship: "Topares" and "Good Morning, Portugal" which suffered censorship in Spain. But the Franco's regimen couldn't stop these two films to become a cult in the independent film circuits.

"Topares, Anticrónicas de un Pueblo" (1974) told the story of 'Doña María', the oldest lady in a remote Andalusian village, asking the general Franco to have a road built and to bring electrical power, telephon connections and water to Topares, where paradoxically the river Guadalquivir has its sources.

'Buenos Días, Portugal" (1975) was a road-documentary discovering the new Portugal after the "Revolução dos Cravos", the Carnation Revolution, which opened the doors of Portugal to democracy and to Europe. The film was a song for liberty in the still dictatorial Spain.
