Project in residence
Desarrollo de largometraje
Recovering an image means giving it new meanings. Today, in the midst of visual overabundance, the act of rescuing, recycling and reusing images offers a whole horizon of possibilities.
The starting point of the film is to work on appropriation and explore the limits between fiction and documentary, questioning the representation of reality and the double nature of images – as real as they are illusory.
During the residency I am going to project and digitize super 8 films filmed at home in the 60s and 70s. It is disparate and unknown material and I don’t know what I will find. My intention is to work on the process of recovering these images and at the same time delve into the documentation part for the construction of the story. I hope that this process culminates with the creation of the teaser and the dossier of the film to continue with the rest of the stages.
