STRANGELOVE A Film by Sergio Calderón & Céli Lee 2015 Synopsis In 2015, I worked with Céli Lee on STRANGELOVE, a synthetic love affair. A film we both directed, wrote, produced, animated, edited, and composed the soundtrack for. At that time I had already been working on digital projects and films for more than 15 years. This romance with precision, which sometimes can be obsessive, with the endless possibility of arranging and rearranging, was reaching a point in which only repetition could occur. With STRANGELOVE, and so it was true for other works done utilising the machine, I wanted to find a story that could only exist in that world, the new world. I didn’t want to fall into the cliché of finding the human in the technology, or copying nature, or copying previous man made works, or utilising references, or whatever. With STRANGELOVE I wanted to go to a new place, and tell the story of these two semi-metallic synthetic beings, a story that couldn’t happen, at least not in this world. Everything in this film is artificial, even the soundtrack, which was done with software, by playing digital instruments with a keyboard. The only thing real in this film is the smoke, the illusion. Seen today, ten years later, STRANGELOVE portrays a human-after-all search, a certain internal situation that was happening, the trial and error that existed at the time of working on the film. After STRANGELOVE, I didn't feel like being in that digital world anymore; I started working in a more primitive, analog way. I returned to the essential tools. Credits Directed, Written and Produced by Sergio Calderón & Céli Lee Original Music by MU Film Edited by Sergio Calderón Art Direction by Sergio Calderón & Céli Lee RUNNING TIME: 8 minutes, 42 seconds Sales / Press |
