This edition will focus on the technical script of the documentary in development, Pax in Lucem, prior to the filming stage in Spain. The film explores the trajectory of the renowned Uruguayan-Catalan artist Joaquín Torres García, starting with the discovery of fragments from the famous mural lost in the fire at the museum in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. Alejandro (great-grandson of Torres García and Director of the museum) and Emiliano (film director), lifelong friends, journey through the cities where Torres García lived, tracing his footsteps that still endure through time.
This edition of FAARA Sur is carried out in partnership with the Arca International Film Festival on Arts.
