Whose Boards Are These?
De qui sont ces tableaux?
Dir. Camilo Martín-Flórez
Montreal/Colombia, 2021 | 7 min
French & Spanish with English subtitles
An audiovisual comic made with found-footage from 1896 and 1920. This is a film that employs the formal principles of a comic book to underline the naïve, joyful, and ludic content of film. WHOSE BOARDS ARE THESE? tells the story of an idealist filmmaker who dreams of a utopic history of cinema, but he ends up trapped in an eternal beginning, in a vicious cycle, with a belligerent ending.
