Lume Alberte Pagán

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


The short belongs to the series “Superficies” (Surfaces in English), in which Pagán plays with the superposition of still photographs of different natural elements with the movement of the audiovisual story. In Lume, the director uses an intense, reddish colour range, indeed reminiscent of fire, to underline the indignation and rage shown by the audiovisual images, projected on the still photography of roots with the live sound of a demonstration in memory of the young Carlos Palomino. 

Synopsis: In this new installment of the series “Superficies”, an anti-fascist demonstration held in Santiago de Compostela on November 20th, 2007, in homage to the 16-year-old Carlos Palomino, assassinated in Madrid a few days before by a neo-Nazi is projected on roots with live sound.
