Luciana Merino & Pascal Viveros - Discovering love in Santiago de Chile

Luciana Merino and Pascal Viveros are fascinated by poetic deviations in reality, such as when their camera captures a city through extreme wide-angle shots while life unfolds within it. From above and afar, they let us discover an unconventionally cinematic love story in Santiago de Chile.

Merino and Viveros thus manage to create a new cinematic world from the everyday life of the city, using simple motifs with unusual perspectives and numerous serendipitous details. They spoke with us at the 2024 festival about their Berlinale entry Al sol, lejos del centro (Towards the Sun Far from the Center).
