Éssers volàtils, paisatges efímers

Experimental cinema allows us to work with strategies that would be absolutely infeasible in the context of big (or not so big) productions. The fact that we can dispense with large human teams and complex equipment means that the creative process can be resized on a different scale: the camera ceases to be a technological intruder and becomes an extension of our own eye. The solitary filmmaker becomes invisible and their attention, freed from formalisms, is able to focus on the tiniest of accidents, the protagonist of everyday life. This gained proximity allows us to immerse ourselves in domestic, marginal or deeply personal spaces, and brings us back to the original power of the cinematographer: the ability to be surprised by the world and to keep, forever, the light of a moment that will never be repeated.

We will explore these experiences through the projects De blanco, muerte, by Iona Quesada and Carmen Barreiro, and 2 inviernos I, by manuela prado paz (super-8 film projection with live sound improv).
