Lume

Lume ('Fire') is one of the latest works by Galician director Alberte Pagán, a specialist in experimental cinema, who received in 2016 the Galician Critics Award in the category of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts.

The short film belongs to the series "Surfaces", in which Pagán plays with the superimposition of still photographs of different natural elements with the movement of the audiovisual story. In Lume, the director makes use of an intense, reddish chromatic range, effectively reminiscent of fire, to underline the indignation and rage shown by the audiovisual images, projected on the still photograph of some roots, with the live sound of a demonstration in memory of young Carlos Palomino.

Synopsis: In this new installment of the "Surfaces" series, an anti-fascist demonstration held in Santiago de Compostela, on November 20, 2007, in tribute to the 16-year-old Carlos Palomino, murdered in Madrid a few days earlier by a neo-Nazi, is projected onto roots with live sound.
