The gap

2011 · 85 min

A cerebral, essayistic documentary that feels like wandering a borderland of ideas, asking you to think about art, walls and self-censorship.

Overview
The world is shared among two territories, two states of the being of opposite condition, get strained, are in crisis, to form, to shape what already exists. There’s a wall and there’s always someone who will go and look for what shit is on the other side and maybe on the other side you don’t find what expected. “La Brecha” is a movie that questions the whole concept of artwork while exposing the mechanisms of self-censorship and self-control of the creators at the time of producing their works.
