Directed by Alejandro Massó
A novice film director's eccentric ideas test the patience of his talking video camera, which begins to doubt his talent and whether it can endure another of his hare-brained shoots.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A talking camera that roasts its own director—finally, a film that knows the joke is the power dynamic, not the whimsy. This inverts every earnest indie-filmmaker-journey story by making the equipment the skeptic, and it commits to that lunacy without blinking.
The conceit is clever, but the execution feels more sketch than considered work; it lacks the compositional rigor or editing precision that would elevate a premise this thin into something with real formal stakes.
That camera voice—the timing of its doubt, the specific exhaustion in how it delivers each complaint—is the entire film, and Massó found the exact performance temperature to make a meta-joke about filmmaking feel earned rather than self-congratulatory.
