Dérive

2018 · 60 min

A quiet, drifting city portrait that rewards patience, wandering through streets with no destination and little narrative push.

Overview: Cinematographer Eric Eduarte Villa traveled to Mexico City between 2014 and 2016 based on the Theory of the Dérive, the part of situationist philosophy which tries to make trips without an apparent destination, just to enjoy the exploration of urban geography.
