Life
Ungría studied economics , but soon devoted himself to film. As early as 1963 he made his first short film Querido Abraham , which he followed as a representative of the Escuela de Argüelles , a group of independent filmmakers, for almost one hundred three minutes under the series title Cuentos y leyendas . In 1969 the medium-length La vida en los teleclubs followed and in 1971 his first full-length film El hombre oculto , which received critical praise at the Venice festival , but had problems with the censorship authorities in his home country Spain . His second film, Tirarse al monte , also remained under lock and key until General Franco's death. After further work - from 1973 to 1975 for television, then some feature films and a television miniseries about Miguel de Cervantes - his film La conquista de Albania was awarded the special jury prize at the 1983 film festival in San Sebastián .
His last film so far was his contribution to the compilation film ¡Hay motivo! .
