FNC – Lázaro de noche

National Competition

Imbued with a minimalist and enigmatic aesthetic, the lives of three artistic friends in open relationships intertwine in subtle and complex ways. The intimacy of daily life blends with their creative work to offer a reinterpretation of Aladdin’s story, another transformation of this multi-layered work, true to Pereda’s unique signature. The Mexican-Canadian filmmaker of Fauna continues to explore the boundaries between reality, fiction, memory, and legend through an experience that combines humor, melancholy, and a deep sense of detail.
