The group FVI (Film Vídeo Informació) was founded in Barcelona in 1977. It brought together experimental film and video authors, photographers, poets and artists, its core members being Eugènia Balcells, Eugeni Bonet, Juan Bufill, Carles Hac Mor, Manuel Huerga, Ignacio Julià and Luis Serra. Amid the democratic transition, this group's objective was to explore and showcase the possibilities of experimental cinema and video. Through screenings and a printed magazine called Visual, they sparked debates at a key moment of open-mindedness in Spain's history. Now the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona - MACBA - museum revives this project in an exhibition that vindicates FVI and Visual as the origin of numerous subsequent collaborations in the audiovisual field.
