Screening of Pienso mucho en la foto que no tom\u00e9<\/i><\/b> (<\/b>I think a lot about the photo I didn\u2019t take<\/i><\/b>)<\/b> (2022) and Pacaman<\/i><\/b> (2021) proposed by Gabriel Qui\u00f1ones<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Santo Domingo is a city that is difficult to express. Full of nuances, contradictory. Sometimes suffocating, it\u2019s a city that is lit up by the red of the flamboyant tree and blinded by the Caribbean sun. Ever greyer, it\u2019s growing vertically in a chaotic and disproportionate way. A city that is consumed, that refuses to face up to its own memory, that rarely looks at itself. In spite of all that, it\u2019s a space that harbours countless stories, laughter, memories and dreams.<\/p>\n
This screening consists of two short films that offer a sensitive look at the city of Santo Domingo and are a window onto contemporary audio-visual creation in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n
Pienso mucho en la foto que no tom\u00e9<\/i><\/b> (<\/b>I think a lot about the photo I didn\u2019t take<\/i><\/b>)<\/b> (Samuel Caraballo, 2022, 17:44)
\nBecause of the lack of memories of Samuel\u2019s childhood, the obsession arose to generate a film archive of brief scenes, portraits of his loved ones and poetry in the city of Santo Domingo. It\u2019s a celebration of life, a gesture of love for his milieu and the people who move in it.<\/p>\n
