The nights we slept in chairs

The story

Shot on Super 16mm at 18 frames per second, this visual piece for the Mexican art-rock band 'Diles que no me maten', named after Juan Rulfo's short story of the same name from 'El Llano en llamas', is both an homage to early cinema and a quiet act of resistance against artificially generated imagery. Every illusion was created practically, without digital intervention. No animals were harmed during the making of this project.
