0:01
Camila once again here at jackman Hall
0:04
for another great day of programming and
0:06
we have the pleasure of actually having
0:08
one of the directors from Flor de la Mar
0:10
Jorge Dillon Armand it’s a pleasure to
0:12
have you so I’m just going to pick your
0:15
brain today and with three quick
0:17
questions about Florida Lamarr as you
0:20
guys may know he’s a director so we’re
0:22
going to start off at the back with the
0:24
first question is how or what is the
0:27
message that you’d like to leave with
0:29
the movie tonight
0:31
brother Lamar is a story about
0:34
abandonment but ultimately it’s a story
0:37
that Lisa leaves the audience with a
0:40
metaphor on how oil can put a final end
0:44
to Venezuela especially for what’s going
0:47
on today so that’s great um the second
0:50
question for us is how do you yourself
0:52
as you know director of Florida Lamar
0:53
and as an artistic person how do you
0:56
find inspirations to tell these kind of
0:58
stories behind you know the camera I
1:01
find inspiration in the personal and
1:05
emotional connection that I have to
1:07
subjects or people yeah in the case of
1:12
Rhoda Lamar the main character they
1:14
archaeologist he’s my grandfather
1:16
and that’s why I was able to to go there
1:18
and I was telling the story through him
1:21
but for me was also a way to reconnect
1:23
with my grandfather and reconnect with
1:24
my roots that’s a venezuelan okay and
1:27
the last question for our viewers
1:29
tonight is if there could be one word or
1:31
a phrase that you could use to sum up
1:34
your film what would that be
1:40
the story of a community of fishermen
1:43
fighting to protect the ruins of the
1:46
first European city that was built in
1:47
South America
1:48
so check Florida tomorrow tonight
1:51
there’s still time and check other great
1:54
projects thank you so much Jorge for
1:55
being with us tonight and we’ll catch
1:57
you on the flip side
