Lips , the film went to duo Santiago Loza and Ivan Fund, is one of the most important releases last year and only now, after an intense schedule of festivals. A journey that had its peak in the best actress award given in conjunction with the protagonists Adela Sanchez, Victoria and Eva Raposo Bianco, section Un Certain Regard at Cannes. This is the first Argentine film receiving the most important festival in the world, from those obtained by Pino Solanas over 20 years. The film takes place at the intersection of fiction and documentary (see box). Some of his characters are represented by the common people San Cristobal where it was filmed. Characters that the viewer may seem too to reality (or fantasy for certain stereotypes of realities that actually know). However, to the directors that intersection, the mutual assimilation of reality and fantasy, never posed a problem. "I never felt like a limit, because we knew what we did not want to be the film in the ethical and aesthetic," said Fund. Loza, his partner, added that "everything would appear transcended mere exposure, that every person who appears as a character has a dramatic entity and identity. And the film is taken the time to portray them as individuals. " "There was no chance of a look miserabilist or offensive," adds Fund.
- Do you think lips is a political film? Loza
: "Yes, but not social or political film, not a film of denunciation. There are political, but from a very intimate.
Fund: "There's a bone that has to do with something else. Loza
: "If political talk of tenderness, then it is a political film. But since she did not propose any solution.
"It's clearly not an activist film.
Fund: "If by militant means to believe, have faith in something, then yes. We went to look for something, to see if there was, and that appears in the film. Loza
: "But it is cyclical: it refers to something happening here and now. In fact, the little story of strangers who go to remote site and end up being part of that place, is something that can happen now, 50 years ago and will continue to happen. You do not have to do either with the current government or a particular political idea.
-How does the experience of crossing two aesthetic looks like they can get each one individually.
Fund: "It happens that we have a friendship and started working on lips four years ago. Loza
: "When the shooting had not only written a script, we had also made notes against the script, we had refuted. So when we started shooting and had a deep trust needed to resign or accept what the other can offer.
-No need to hit. Loza
: "No, we run forever, but not so much shooting because he had to act. But of course we had differences and there was much discussion.
Fund: "While it may be that everyone has different paths, went to the same side. Loza
: "The aesthetic looks are different and the movie is that bid.
"There's a scene in which the subjects move along a path and a boy follows them and goes hand in hand with one of them. That scene defines precisely the intersection between reality and fiction that takes place within the film. What premises are managed to guide it?
Fund: "The premise was to allow it to happen. Loza
: "OK that might happen.
Fund: "Actually this is one of the scenes happened naturally.
"And it shows. Loza
: "Then there is a huge job editing Lorena Moriconi, but the base that was to remain open.
Fund: "It was necessary not only to build, but to receive, be careful. Especially actresses. Loza
: "We feel that sometimes the world opened to us generously. To think that all those people who helped had had no previous contact with the film, nor the construction of fiction. And they responded with an ease that sometimes can not find in many actors. Were in line with something that looked the film.
-elected three female protagonists. Why did they need to tell the story from the feminine? Loza
: "There never was another option, never question it. There was a decision: we have always been women.
Fund: "Then you start to find reasons or explanations. We could suspect what it might mean and then began to appear reflections that came to complete what was already given. Loza
: "There is also the question of the title, lips, we always liked.
Fund: "Because has to do with the senses, with a form of contact with the world. Of course there is a very feminine universe but transcends gender.
"Although everyone has their own career paths, by transcendence, by diffusion, lips may be the most successful film of both.
Fund Loza and look, hesitate. They do not seem happy with observation.
Fund: "If success means winning a prize in Cannes: safe, yes. But I do not I can stay in it. Is great, but no. Loza
