The Consell de Mallorca celebrates the World Audiovisual Heritage Day with the screening of the film El jefe político (1926) directed by André Hugon. The projection is accompanied by live music by the composer and performer Miquel Brunet.
The collaboration between the Arxiu del So i de la Imatge de Mallorca and the Spanish Film Library has resulted in the recovery of this film by Hugon, one of the pioneers of French cinema. In 1999, the Consell de Mallorca acquired the only copy of the film available to date, making it possible to restore it in order to be exhibited.
