Alexis dos Santos's choice!!!

En mi último viaje a NY tuve la suerte de reencontrarme con mi amigo Alexis Dos Santos quien en esta ocasión presentó su segundo largometraje titulado "Unmade Beds" en el marco del festival New Directors New Films realizado por el MOMA y el Film Society de Lincoln Center.



UNMADE BEDS - ALEXIS DOS SANTOS - UK 92MIN

With his startlingly visceral and original second feature, Unmade Beds, Alexis Dos Santos manifests an exuberant London where unbridled longing and zeal plunge nubile expats into lusty adventures and momentous encounters. When wide-eyed Spaniard Axl comes to London on a quest for the father who abandoned him, he lands in the middle of a creative hotbed—an underground polyglot squat filled with colorful free spirits. Among them is Vera, a beautiful Belgian girl recently dumped by her boyfriend, who seeks to restore her faith in romantic destiny after meeting a charismatic stranger. As Axl and Vera separately pursue these bittersweet and elusive connections, they circle each other's orbits—their fates almost inevitably intertwined.Alongside this lush story of youthful awakening, Dos Santos conjures a rhythmic stream-of-consciousness mood collage. Axl and Vera’s world vibrates with visual and sonic energy. The palate of yellows, reds, and greens emits benevolent warmth as if to soften the blow of their tender aches. Surprising sound scapes and an effusive score aptly express the characters’ mercurial interior states. Meanwhile slapstick moments and musical performances by fresh unknowns puncture the melancholy, buoying the film into irreverent whimsy. They may be slightly crumpled works in progress—like the unmade beds where they slumber—but Axl, Vera, and their friends are as vital as a crisp new day.

hola! como estas? nos encanta la galeria yautepec , es un gran espacio para las nuevas generaciones de artistas. con mucha calidad ademas.
nos gustaria invitarlos a colaborar con nosotros con el proposito de mostrarle a mas gente lo que hacen.
tenemos un blog donde invitamos artistas , djs, amigos, fotógrafos, gente interesante a que desarrolle un playlist de 5 canciones que les gusten con un tema
por ejemplo " música para salir a caminar" no se jaj , lo q el invitado quiera y una foto o algo que ilustre el playlist.
nosotros subimos los links de las canciones para q los demás las escuchen y puedan descargarlas y sus links para que la gente conozca mas acerca de ustedes. ojalá les guste la idea , seria un placer que pudieran ayudarnos.
