Synopsis:

“What would the world be like from an underground perspective?”

SURFACE is an experimental film, exploring the emotional journey from an underground urban perspective. This ‘urban symphony’ transforms human actions and street objects into beats that harmoniously compose a grand audio and visual composition. The film emphasizes the ideas of ‘point of contact’, ‘human identity’ and notion of ‘live footprints’.

SURFACE is a part of UND-VIS, a thesis project for MFA Design and Technology, Parsons The New School for Design. UND-VIS : Under Vision Experiment; explores the new visual language of an unconventional perspective from below.

“It’s a weird game going on between the band and the place where they play. A mesmerizing Eiffel Tower or Trocadero usually steal the show with their size and more or less spectacular tricks, but here’s a band no one would expect to find there, competing with all those crowd-pullers. ”

TROCADERO, EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS

Movement is life.
Never stop, even when you fall.
Not knowing what is next.
I try to reach you, no matter how far are you,
how little I know you.
I am not afraid.
I will create my own world,
where I can jump from place to place.
Landing in a foreign country each day.
I am not afraid of what will happens next.
I don’t fall, it is the world that is upside down.

Ever Amado is a hurting and bitter illegal immigrant from El Salvador. He left the country with his wife Flor to escape the brutal civil war, only to find himself alone in a clandestine border hospital as an amputee. In his isolation, the anger and bitterness that have ruled Ever for so long finally begin to weaken. Ultimately, as Ever confronts his physical pain, he discovers a life-changing spiritual revelation.

San Salvador, El Salvador

This movie is not an historical document. It is an emotional map through a world of fears, dreams, sounds and images. The date given at the beginning of this film is mere poetic license. “Who gave me this license?” I hear you ask. “My elders”, would be my reply. Every time that I asked or interviewed an older Salvadorian about the civil war they began in this way: “You did not live through this war, you were only a kid. I did.” I was precisely five years old when the war started, and I was seventeen when it ended. Perhaps I did not live through this war and the entire movie is only a product of my imagination. As a kid history and dreams belonged to the same and broader space I call reality. As an adult I close my eyes to try and remember dates, names and places, and I open them quickly to forget. In between that blink, we made this movie.
