Josep de Togores

[1][2][4] Togores was a man of wide culture, and as such, in addition to sports, he was also interested in music, and was thus a friend and host to Camille Saint-Saëns, Joaquim Malats, and Enric Granados, with whom he organized concerts at his home.

[1][4][5] This was followed by Dansa fatal (1914), El pollo Tejada (1915), with a plot inspired by the homonymous zarzuela by Carlos Arniches, and photography by Giovanni Doria and Josep María Maristany.

He believed that Spanish female directors should give evidence of vitality, producing a collection of tapes that could replace the absolute lack of foreign films.

[5] The last major production of Togores en la Segre was El sello de oro (1916), starring the eminent dancer Stasia Napierkowska.

[4] His cinema is considered of high quality, with good technical collaborators, ambitious and extensive themes, lavish presentation, and featuring great actors and actresses such as Fernando Díaz de Mendoza, María Guerrero, Lola París, Pastora Imperio, among others.

[5] He tried to capture a quality audience with a theatrical style (even when it approached realism), but despite his films being full of dynamism, they generally appeared related to imaginary and artificial themes of little cinematographic interest.
