Er is een geest van mij

Er is een geest van mij

Mateo Vega | Netherlands, Peru | 2021 | 6' |

| IFFR 2021

An attempt at mourning both personal and political futures that never
arrived, organised around a broad interpretation of the trope of the
ghost. We see depersonalised figures, urban ruins, consuming fires
and microscopic images of decaying bodily matter; footage was shot in
Washington DC, Lima and Amsterdam. Issues like failed neoliberal
promises of progress, the rise of fascism, and self-image and adulthood
are brought together, set to a poem that shifts between Spanish and
Dutch.
