Perrolobo: Lycisca

There is something profoundly “original” about this film: origin of the oral history, origin of the species, origin of the nature, even origin of the cinema. Because, what else is needed to begin a story other than a wolf’s night howl? From that primitive moment on, everything is possible. As the film advances, layers and stories are added, and the idea of the original-origin, the pureness, is transformed into something else, much like it happens in any good tale. It’s about mixing: bloods, species, stories, images, sounds, possible films and memories from the valleys and mines of Carranza (Biscay). Until the night, the howling, the wolf arrives again.  Muybridge would have dreamed about photographing a Canis Lupus paws moving. The dream turns real here. (Gijón International Film Festival)
