"Ruta o Rumbo. Un viaje mental"  / "Route or Course. A Mindtrip"
The road in front of me... Is it a route or course that I follow?

 A Mindtrip

"El Mundo se Camina" - "Have to Walks The World"
An invitation to walk the world. To walk through it, to enjoy its smells, colors, and sounds.

El Mundo Se Camina

Chile woke up on October 18th, 2019. The streets were flooded with people claiming "Until 
dignity becomes a habit". "The right of delirium" by Eduardo Galeano transports us through 
the atmosphere of the struggle for what we would call an Utopia.

Award-wining film by Marcelo Lagreze

Chile woke up on October 18th, 2019.
The streets are flooded with people demanding to be heard, united by the slogan "until dignity becomes customary.” While some people peacefully demonstrate, others, known as the "front line", confront the police to ensure the safety of the demonstrators. This entire situation is metaphorically and poetically depicted through the voice of Eduardo Galeano as he reads his poem "El derecho al delirio" (The Right to Delirium).

Utopia of the outraged

The city was quiet and hauntingly beautiful. Peace flooded the places that, before, had 
noisy crowds. We were experiencing the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 
environment on the subway was not different. A place that used to be flooded with 
people became an empty place that invited us to a parenthesis, a PAUSE to think and 
reflect...

<h3>Director's Statement:</h3>
It was a special moment for all. Almost without realizing it, our life changed. “A new way of living,” they said. Forced to leave confinement to receive medical treatment due to an accident. I traveled by subway to different stations in the city. Being there, I couldn't help the strange feeling of being almost by myself in a place that used to be synonymous with crowding.
At that moment, I decided to capture images of the lonely people in the subway. These images and the voices in the film invite us to rethink and reflect on important aspects of living. Which, unfortunately, under normal circumstances, we forget or overlook.
