A Feature Film Beyond Conventions

Manuel de Ribera

  • Video
Two young directors, a professional actor and a small film crew embark on a journey to an island in southern Chile. Their goal is to produce an entire feature film in three weeks. They don’t have a script, but only the first lines of a story and the conviction that following a self-created production method will make sure they touch land.

“At the age of 48, Manuel De Ribera gets an unusual inheritance: an uninhabited island in southern Chile, situated facing a small fishing bay. De Ribera is alienated from his friends and family; he’s a jack of all trades and master of none and he grabs this opportunity to wrestle himself free from a society in which he just can’t take root. He wants to create a spot on the island where he can determine and maintain his own rules and values.” – IFFR

This project lives deep inside my heart. It is the first professional undertake I ever did. So many lessons learned and learning still. All the people I met and the life experiences this project brought make me bow to the beautiful art of cinema and the school of life that is making films.
