Sobre cosas que me han pasado

Directed by José Luis Torres Leiva
Chile, 2018

Marcelo Matthey narrates his own life in a style reminiscent of school compositions. Notes on what he saw, felt or thought during certain moments or movements. The timeline in which things occur and come to mind, like the steps of a person walking along a street.

Our take

Picking grapes, a majestic ocean, and the bubbles on the surface of fried eggs: Chilean director José Luis Torres Leiva’s observational short captures the rapturous feeling of seeing something for the very first time. Daily impressions meet with childhood memories, both in the sway of wonder.
