"Cinema should be this: making perception of time and space more intense."

The town of Banyoles, an hour and a half from Barcelona, hosts a festival every year named after its patron, Saint Martyrianus (or, in Catalan, Martirià). There are horse races, there are local delicacies and dances, and there is always someone elected to be the festival'spregoner—literally, "town cryer." This person is given the signal honor of opening the fair with a celebratory speech, and in 2022, the controversial and acclaimed filmmaker Albert Serra, born in Banyoles, was handed the microphone. He opened his mouth. . . and this book emerged, whole and entirely improvised.

Puckish, confrontational, subversive, and always dripping with Serra's impulsive lust for life,A Toast to St Martirià is a headlong journey through the director's formative years and early relationships, all played out against the nightlife of his hometown. These are the experiences that have shaped his own peculiar conception of the movies, art, and life, focused not on metropolitan glamor but the slower pace of the countryside, the little moments lost between edits.
