Directed by Nicolás Pereda
Director Nicolás Pereda’s fascination with the filmmaking process comes to the fore in a work that represents a break from, and a deeper investigation into, the forms and themes of his previous films. In this film within a film, artist and activist Jesusa Rodríguez performs Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s poem First I Dream, or rather prepares to perform as a camera crew sets up shots to film her. Along the way, Pereda reveals how moments of stillness, concentration and contemplation shape the act of creation.
