The Sum of the Circles
Director
Fifteen locations are the stage where fifteen performers, among artists, poets, students etc., one per location, perform a fragment of “Wild Cathedral”, a poem by the mythical Ecuadorian poet César Dávila Andrade. A sum of portraits where the poem becomes a bridge to access the character and his respective surroundings. The poem as a regulating and critical voice between the character and the different territorialities.
Beyond the mall
Researcher
Is there an audience for Latin American movies? These are some of the questions posed by an Ecuadorian filmmaker whose latest movie was a commercial flop. He embarks on a query to find answers to his questions and relief for his despair. His research leads him to a giant contraband market in the port city of Guayaquil, where pirated movies from all over the world are sold for one dollar each. Here, he discovers a number of Ecuadorian low budget movies produced by amateurs, with titles he had never heard of before: from action packed productions to evangelical melodramas.
