The strange omens of León Prosak

Carlos Santa: León Prozak rents his head to Mefistófeles to propose some Circus numbers. These scenes, animations proposed by various plastic artists, are the center of the film, the pleasure of painting in motion. The animated paintings touch on various themes that characterize their authors, such as politics, in the case of Zalamea or Adriana Espinoza who makes portraits of the disappeared. Rafael Dussan and Daniel Winograd wonder about eroticism. There is also abstract art with Edgar Álvarez, the rare expressionist humor with Loochkartt, or a mystical subject as in the cases of Carlos Santa and David Manzur. A varied palette of authors who express their vision of the world through painting and drawing in the cinema.
