SANTOS #2, WORK IN PROGRESS
O.V. Spanish, French, Galician and Berber subtitle in Spanish and English
Films are not fed only by processes, but also by the surroundings and way of life of filmmakers. Antón Corbal’s study case is Oliver Laxe, the spearhead of the Galician new cinema and director of Mimosas, in order to examine how life and cinema meld. With distance and respect, he contemplates the life and work of Laxe in the interior of Morocco, the ins and outs of editing a film and flashes of his shooting in his home town, in the endless cycle, both overwhelming and fragile, of creation and cinema.
