(THIS IS AN EXCERPT OF THE FILM)
In the film A LA MANERA DE DAVID (In the Manner of David), David is a young street sweeper who is obsessed with Iggy Pop and one day he finds a short documentary about Michelangelo’s David and after that he wants to become the famous sculpture and that’s where he starts loosing control on his own existence and reality.
Direction, production and editing: Pedro Costa Prohens
Writers: Pedro Costa Prohens y Brian Hermida
Performer: Raul Santamaría
A LA MANERA DE DAVID was awarded with Honorary mention at International Screendance Award MOVIMIENTO EN MOVIMIENTO #7, 2018.
Jury note: This work is explicitly experimental. It has to do with the body and body movement, although not from the dance, but from a human and aesthetic perspective. The character goes from having an ordinary obsession for a pop singer to seek an obsession for a mythical figure in classical culture. And it shows how fragile and insecure minds, without basic foundations can be influenced… It has humor and is very well cinematographically solved. Refreshes the idea of the limits that dance film and screendance can embrace.
Jury: Anna Macdonald, Alessandra Pisu, and a vote by Movimiento en Movimiento.
