DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
Somewhere in the Arce Valley of Navarra, the birthplace of the artist Maddi Barber, the rural world carries on with its perpetual relationship between people and animals. The 16mm camera naturally glides around and intrudes into everyday life. With deft, timeless motions of the hand, sheep get slaughtered, sheared and milked. The red color of the blood, from which the short film takes its title, the white of the fur, the green of the field. Tasty cheeses are made, lovely flowers are shown off, songs whispered. (MMF)
