COLOR PERRO QUE HUYE

]]>PROPOSITIONS - Selected examples of a different cinema.]]>

A fragmentary and associative diary and travel essay. When an accident during filming means he is bed-bound, Andrés Duque starts digging in his archives. These are not film reels or videotapes, but digital ones and zeros on his hard-disk: pictures of his friends in Spain, strolls through Barcelona and a journey back to his home country of Venezuela. The images are real and, according to an opening title, “ordered and shown in all honesty”. But, as the filmmaker warns immediately afterwards, “it’s not the truth”.
Andrés Duque stirs up the narrative by omission, suggestion and manipulation. And he comments on the whole thing with reflections in subtitles about life and everyday reality in Spain. “It’s my life in these images”, Duque argues, “and this is the most honest way to show it.”
