Sinopsis:
Una jornada rara provoca conversaciones donde trabajadores contemplan la vida y el hombre muerto colgado al frente de ellos en una fabrica.
In an unusual working morning, people sit and wait, contemplating life, and the dead man hanging in front of them in a Mexican factory. Dear Festival Programmers, I present you with my project, Algo Más Banal or Something More Banal, which was born out of an experience of finding someone dead in my college dorm and the consequent reactions we all had, varying from gossip, to intrigue, to simply Facebook stalking. This lead me to think about the way we deal with death in the modern day and, having been brought up in Latin America, especially in a region that had become desensitized to violence and was dealing with these thoughts on a daily basis. I also really like exploring story structure and format so I took this opportunity at the London Film School to play around a little and break the linear Western format of story structure. I hope it is a short moment that translates and captures your attention as the initial experience stayed with me over the years.
