OLIVIA & THE CLOUDS

[OLIVIA & LAS NUBES]
Taking a page from Akira Kurosawa’s RASHOMON, Dominican filmmaker Tomás Pichardo Espaillat concocts a spellbinding exploration of love, trauma and memory using a wild combination of stop-motion animation, live-action footage and graphic sketches to tell the story of Olivia, a woman haunted by her past relationship with a man named Ramón. From this simple and universal starting point, Pichardo takes viewers on a surreal journey through time and space that emphasizes how our personal recollections are shaped by the narratives we tell. This is a bold, beautiful feature debut that ushers in a new talent. –Javier Chavez
