He directed his first feature in 1980, during La Movida Madrile (the Madrid Scene), a countercultural and democratic movement in Spain, and has been pushing boundaries for over four decades. Often outlandish and provocative, and rife with passion, Almodar's 22 films to date explore the full spectrum of the human condition. In the process, they have transformed Spanish cinema and contributed invaluably to the global film scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePedro Almodar: Installation\/Instalaci\u003c\/i\u003e accompanies an immersive exhibition created by Almodar for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
