The art of memory is a classic technique that associates images with places through a process of remembrance and meaning. From the memory of places and their context, the documentary delves into the creative process of three contemporary visual artists: Daniel Blaufuks, Pedro Bastos and José Rufino. Despite the different expression approaches of each author, we find points of communication in the way memory operates in their works. By rummaging through the hazards and disorder, we arrive at the director's personal mythology, assuming that memory is a fiction like any film.

In a parallel world Pedro tries to hack his way into joining an exodus to another planet. While he dwells in his dreams and frustrations of being left behind he meets Eva, who challenges him and forces him to come to terms with his purpose.

In a village where time and space run out, a child dwells in the death vortex.

Over the dark and barren landscapes of a city somewhere in the Arctic Circle, we hear the story of a man who dreamed he was a woman, an oneiric reverie that allows him to be in two opposite places at the same time. It is a beautiful metaphor, as well as a eulogy, about accepting what seems illogical, instead of looking for meaning, one that finds comfort in the darkness and restlessness that disturbs sleep, turning it into a space for the subconscious to rise

In 2016, Edgar Pêra released The Amazing Spectator, a playful investigation into cinema’s disquieting essence that had everything from negative film images of boobs and positively splendid interviews to a donkey hand puppet. The film and an accompanying book formed his PhD thesis. But as so often with him, projects turn into obsessions – especially when there are masses of notions not pondered, thoughts not elaborated upon. And so KINORAMA - Beyond the Walls of Cinema was born, a stand-alone continuation of The Amazing Spectator that looks at cinema’s future in cyberspace and, accordingly, perhaps the end of its enslavement to figurative representation, the 'stupid sacred in narrative cinema' (to use a Pêra’ism), realism and artificiality in 3D cinema, and many other aspects.

And then, a house will appear to be waiting you: as in a slope, this is a leaning story on the memory of places and things, on returns and new beginnings.

New film directed by Edgar Pêra.

I am the double of the shadow of my own image. An allegory that occupies my place. This is my act of contrition. Beyond good and evil, I stand as an equation: Its result cannot be manipulated By morals or ethics. In mathematics there is no place for beliefs Just as life and death Are a certain fate.

The emotional journey of Yulya, a fragile and precious young woman.

제임스 베닝과 리처드 링클레이터의 만남은 어울리지 않는 조합처럼 보인다. 한 사람은 영화의 순수성을 지키려는 지사적 실험영화 작가이고, 한 사람은 인디영화로 시작해 할리우드 심장부로 진입한 감독이다. 그러나 두 예술가는 오랜 우정을 나눈 친구이다. 영화적 우정에 대한 이 다큐멘터리는 두 감독의 삶과 영화에 대한 접근방식의 유사성과 차이를 탐구한다. 링클레이터의 씁쓸한 청춘드라마와 베닝의 급진적 실험주의 사이의 명백한 차이에도 불구하고 영화에 대한 저들의 대화에는 격이 없다. 여전히 16미리 볼렉스 카메라로 작업하는 베닝과 할리우드 톱스타들과 일하는 링클레이터가 나누는 대화 사이에는 그들의 영화에서 발췌한 필름 푸티지들이 삽입된다. 마지막 순간 링클레이터의 초기작 에서 두 친구가 걸어가는 푸티지에 볼렉스 카메라를 들고 걸어가는 베닝의 뒷모습이 이어진다. 각자의 길을 가는 두 사람, 그러나 지속될 우정을 암시하면서 영화는 닫힌다.
