Col.

Elder has walked for seven days to reach La Paz and demonstrate with his friends, minors who were fired from the Huanuni tin mines. It is not long before Elders becomes ill, slowly suffocated by the city. Max, a street sorcerer, restlessly roams each part of town, which seems so deeply rooted in his very being. Their meeting will seal their faith in the middle of the bustling, musical Bolivian capital.

The film is selected for the One+One award.

 

Born in La Paz, Kiro Russo studied at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires. He directed three short films - Enterprisse (2010), Juku (2012) and Nueva Vida (selected at Entrevues in 2015 ) - and one feature film Viejo Calavera (Special Mention of the Jury at the Locarno Film Festival, and winner of the Eurocks One+One Award at Entrevues in 2016). Shot in La Paz in 16mm, El Gran Movimiento is his second feature.
