"Dissatisfied by what he considered the low-level of most Spanish filmmaking, architect Nemesio Sobrevilla embarked on his own cinematic adventure with The Sixth Sense. Literally borrowing from all the major avant-garde trends in Europe at that time-the multiple exposures of French impressionism, distorted sets from German expressionism-Nemesio created a work absolutely unique in Spanish silent film history. Populated with characters described as 'The Vampiress,' 'The Optimist,' and 'The Pessimist,' the plot turns on the assertion of the camera as a 'sixth sense,' a device capable of cutting through appearance towards some essential truth. Never generally released in Spain, the film nevertheless did provoke widespread discussion in Spain about film as art." -Richard Peña
