MeM#7—18) Doublevision (Benito González. México.) 3:51 min. from Movimiento en Movimiento on Vimeo.
1- National Screendance Award MOVIMIENTO EN MOVIMIENTO:
First place: Doublevision (Benito González. Mexico.)
Synopsys: Doublevision is a cinematic atmosphere, a blend between a drowning lullaby with some industrial mantra.
Jury note: We chose this screendance work because it is a piece of simple movement and high sensitivity that really marries the audiovisual medium and movement. Through the body in motion, a feeling that the time is flowing is transmitted. “Doublevision” shows the result of an intense experimentation with the moving image. First of all, renouncing the narrative sense and looking for meanings that are generated throughout the reworking of recorded images. These are visual manifests that are found by the exploration of new choreographic concepts, generated with editing elements and with the renunciation of the most common languages in the screendance genre.
Camera, Editor and Direction: Benito González.
Performers: María Krokodil, Jorge Motel, Mitzy Dávalos,
Inti Santamaría, Guillermo Aguilar, Fausto Jijón and Gisela Olmos.
Sound Design: Conasupo.
