Dacio de las Heras

The cell phone in my right hand and the microphone in my left hand document what happened between studying film between 2019 and 2023, following my friends in the cities of Madrid and Prague and being lucky enough to barely alter their behavior. A very fine narrative thread links the seemingly unconnected events, imitating the disruptive and non-linear nature of our memory. Now I ask myself: What do I remember about these four years? A series of snapshots come to mind that I don't even know how to put in order and that I have tried to protect from oblivion with my cell phone.

THESE IMAGES ARE FRAGMENTS THAT FLASHED IN DIRECTOR’S MEMORY. AS WE KEEP ON FREQUENTING & JUMPING AND SWIMMING IN THESE POOLS. COINCIDENCES PUT TOGETHER ON THIS PIECE SO THEY CAN RESONATE LOUDER ON THEIR MEMORY.

Followed my friends during 15 days in the wintered Netherlands capturing their destructive lifestyle & seek of adrenaline peaks. Fully filmed on my phone without intervening their behaviour so the viewer becomes a member of the group. A collection of moments in which coherence & narrative is found later on in the editing room, where emotions and understanding are revealed.
