Interesting facts

La Fête espagnole is a 1920 French silent film directed by Germaine Dulac and written by Louis Delluc. It was cited by critic and film historian Georges Sadoul as being first in ushering in French impressionist cinema.

Production

Ève Francis had already starred in Germaine Dulac's earlier serial Âmes des fous (1918). In either late 1918 or early 1919, Francis asked if she could bring by her fiancee, Louis Delluc. At their first meeting, Delluc—who was already a respected, up-and-coming film critic for Paris-Midi—read his scenario "Le Fandango," reputedly written on the cut-out section of a paper tablecloth.
