Abstract

The author analyzed the symbolic narrative of the films and the cinematic technologies, which were developed by J. Val del Omar for his film trilogy. This study revealed that the use of the suggestive metaphorics of Spanish poetry (St. John of the Cross, F. García Lorca, Rosalía de Castro) and the artistic heritage of Spanish mysticism dominates in his film aesthetics. As a result, the film director created an allegorical multidimensional narrative about the stages of the spiritual path of a person and as well as about the specifics of the national spirit of the Spain’s different regions. Such a multi-layered artistic image was modeled by the film director with support of creatively transformed transmedia techniques, as well as through the introduction of mystical-surreal strategies, which were implemented in the associative montage of metaphorical images and in the reactualization of the country's folklore heritage. To complete implementation of this artistic program, called by the film director “mecha-mystiс”, he developed immersive innovative cinematic technologies of multi-screen film projection, “tactile vision” and “diaphonic sound”.
