DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
A visual interpretation of the texts by Rumi, a 13th century Sufi poet, reminding us that the cult of personality is forbidden in Sufism. Rumi invented the whirling dance of the dervishes, a celebration of the movement of the universe, its planets and creatures. Metaphors that transform time and space into mythological coordinates, with the Andes Mountains as a backdrop.
Biografía del director
Narcisa Hirsch
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
