In Spanish with English subtitles
Lucas Gallo (°1980, Argentina) is an Argentine filmmaker with a multidisciplinary background developed across Argentina, Spain, and Cuba. Gallo´s work is marked by a constant exploration of boundaries and frontiers between different audiovisual genres and following the tradition of Conceptual Art, where the idea prevails over form. In that perpetual oscillation between the traditional documentary, scripted fiction, experimental cinema and video art, he pursues impure forms and playfulness, battling any form of solemnity. In his decade-long quest, Gallo's work has one main goal: to prioritise the process over the result, both on a formal narrative sense, as well as regarding the conditions of production of his works.
