Carlos Carrera´s unpublished film to open the International Film Festival
March 13, 2018The movie De la infancia by Mexican director Carlos Carrera, will be released at the opening of the 64th International Film Festival, to be held from March 23 to April 9 at the Cineteca Nacional and later at other venues around the country.
The details of the exhibition were presented at a press conference held on Tuesday morning, March 13, in the Alejandro Galindo Room 7 of the Cineteca Nacional.
Participants included Nelson Carro Rodríguez, director of Dissemination and Programming at the Cineteca Nacional; Javier"Fox" Patrón, producer of the movie De la infancia; Silvia Pasternac, scriptwriter of the film; and Benny Emmanuel and Giovanna Zacarías, the main characters of the movie.
It took nine years for De la infancia to come out and reach the public. The movie refers to the life of Francis, a child whose first years of life are affected from the root: his father is an aggressive man who lives life in a dishonest and impulsive way.
Born into a dysfunctional and violent family, in the midst of the chaos caused by instability, poverty and bad parental example, Francis will try to experience the normal processes of childhood despite the environment of horror and uncertainty.
With fantastic and supernatural elements, Carlos Carrera constructs a fiction in which the childish look at disorder and confusion can turn into a turbulent or hopeful outlook.
Regarding the movie, Silvia Pasternac said that it is a film that from a child's point of view and life tells a fantastic story that shows how despite living in an unstable and violent environment, people try to have a normal life and get ahead.
While Giovanna Zacarías stressed that it is a movie that talks about child violence and family dysfunction, themes that make it current, "it is a movie that was in force yesterday, today and probably, unfortunately, hopefully not, but of tomorrow".
The 64th International Film Festival is made up of 14 films from Norway, Portugal, the United States, Argentina, France, Denmark, Japan, Austria, Brazil, Slovakia and Mexico, among others.
These are films that deal with diverse themes ranging from witchcraft, friendship, love, euthanasia and violence, to revealing the history of national heroes and the horror of war and to political upheavals and criticism of the European bourgeoisie.
