Special Features: 2022 Oscar® Selection, Bolivia
[EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO]
Bolivian auteur Kiro Russo (DARK SKULL) returns with a psychedelic city symphony exploring the concrete jungle of La Paz and the very real jungle at its edges. This enthralling drama follows Elder, an out-of-work miner on a pilgrimage to the capital, as he struggles with a mysterious illness that threatens to plunge him into madness. His only hope for relief is a homeless witch doctor named Max. Shot entirely in grainy Super 16mm film and backed by a chaotic urban soundscape, the film casts a spell with its long zooms, bravura editing and a surprise '80s synth dance sequence. Winner, Special Jury Prize, 2021 Venice Film Festival. Official Selection, 2021 San Sebastian and New York film festivals. DIR/SCR/PROD Kiro Russo; PROD Pablo Paniagua, Alexa Rivero.
