New South American Cinema: Analog Films by Mateo André Burbano Molina
Thursday, February 21 at 8 PM
Doors 7:30 PM; $5 admission
My Name is Mateo André Burbano Molina, I’m 21 years old. I was born in Quito – Ecuador and now I’m currently studying film editing in Buenos Aires since 2016 in “FUC Universidad del Cine”. Although I started in this world as an editor thinking of learning visual effects, I unexpectedly fell in love with 35mm analog photography, and little by little I met the world of super 8 and 16mm, so I immediately started experimenting with the grain, the scratches and the infinite possibilities the analog world has to offer. Now I’m working in the script of a new short film in 16mm and super 8, I really want to try and incorporate the just revived ektachrome or some experimental film like the lomography lomochrome purple this year and hopefully bringing back the analog world to my hometown maybe, creating a lab to offer the possibility to more people to try out analog.
