🎬 Title: Dancing in the Street, 11 grados de separación

Story: After a shared journey in Cuba, twelve filmmakers part ways, making a pact to collaborate on a unique film project. Their goal? To explore the concept of image plagiarism and how to creatively engage with it from afar. The approach is unconventional: one director creates a short film, which is then passed to the next filmmaker, who develops their own interpretation by using elements from the previous piece. This process of creative borrowing continues until it reaches the final contributor. Each filmmaker adds their personal touch to what it means to “plagiarize” the film they’ve received. The chain begins with the renowned filmmaker James Benning, known for his meticulous style. His extensive shots inspire the subsequent pieces, leading to a departure from strict adherence to the original concepts and delving into the nuanced textures of the visuals. This repetitive process reveals that cinema serves not just as a reflection of reality but also as an intricate art form combining images and sound. (Santiago González Cragnolino)
