PANORAMA: OBSCURITADS COLLECTIVE, SESSION 2 AT LA GÉNÉRALE
By José Sarmiento Hinojosa
Obscuritads is a collective of three filmmakers: Scott Barley, from Wales, Mikel Guillen, based in Toronto, Canada and Sebastian Wiedemann, from Brazil. The first program launched by the collective and curated by Miquel Escudero Diéguez, premiered at La Générale, Paris, the past 27th and 28th of July. In their presentation, Obscuritads claims to be formed by filmmakers “with very different methods (…) they find themselves in the radicality of their intentions. The more powerful forces of life are invisible. They want to make visible the invisible by focusing on the oscillations between the soul and the stars, the moon, the tides, what is pure in what is raw. Light and darkness are the main characters in their films.”
