Original subtitles

a documentary? of Julián Camilo Lloves

Love and Cinema

Alright.

I would also think that I am about to watch something terrible.

But something incredible happened and you still don't know it.

The documentary starts here.

Ok, no.

It actually starts two weeks before.

It starts here.

And next Tuesday...

There will be a legislation midterm exam.

So...

Anyway.

If you have any questions, ask me.

And tomorrow...

Class will be online.

Because we have, remember?

One in-person, one virtual.

So I left you exam questions...

- Ellipsis.

Thanks cinema for the...

- Editing the next class

and the week after is the delivery of the folder.

By the way, I also invite you

because not this Thursday, but the next...

Thursday the 3rd

I premiere my first film in the Gaumont Cinema.

I mean, the movie I made about 8 years ago.

Finally premieres in theaters.

So...

You're all invited,

feel free to bring whoever you want.

- Next Thursday?

- Yes.

Today is next Thursday.

To achive this goddamn assignment,

they're asking me for the documentary

to have a protagonist.

And one makes films to achieve assignments,

right?

Not for the sake of making films.

The plot is about

the protagonist is an idiot,

and he knows it.

No problem.

His only indication was easy.

Walk in by Margarita's poster.

He preferred Adrián Suar.

As this is a low-budget film

there were no extras for the retake,

but then this happened

Action!

Directing is deciding.

I decided not to cut and the cinema did its thing.

One, two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six, seven.

Wait a second.

They're “Margaritas”

It's cinema.

Ok.

Cinema is about decisions.

Decision is directing.

Directing is mistreating.

Or that was they taught me.

I’m not bad-learned,

I’m bad-educated.

- Stand over there.

Stand over there and look there.

Come, come, quick, quick, quick, quick.

¡Hurry up!

- Huh?

- Stand over there, stand over there.

I frame you, stand over there.

Look at Margarita, there, the title.

Up there.

There, jerk!

Look at Margarita!

Action.

- Uh wait, they screwed me...

- It’s ok, it’s ok. Get in line there.

- Theater 2, upstairs. - Thank you.

- You're welcome, see you.

Hello good!

Alright, it's time to wait.

- Hello!

- Hello buddy.

- How are you?

- Hi!

- Hello!

How are you?

How are you?

They say that cinema brings ladies.

Ok, it's a lie.

The directors don't fuck,

actors do.

I'm not in love

but I'm a romantic.

Five, six women greet me.

I don't mind.

I ask for...

- Did Flor arrive?

No! I'm not secretly in love.

The directors don't fuck,

actors do, look.

- Oh, he's Flor's brother.

I already know where to find it.

Stop!

Let’s get back to what’s important.

We were waiting for Flor.

And Flor arrived.

This is key.

The directors point out.

They point out things, they point out places.

Here, there.

No, not there. There.

The directors point out,

They just point.

People ask them things and they point.

And also, we give orders.

And we also introduce people to people.

Hi, this is so-and-so, this is so-and-so.

Directors point,

point and take questions,

and introduce people to other people,

and we look for talents in those people

to make our films.

Basically we are thieves,

but we love what we do.

- Move, girl.

for fuck's sake.

Well, let me know, asshole.

Let you know what?

That I'm in lov...

That I am framing Flor?

Move.

Ok, it’s time to watch the film.

- Go ahead.

- Hello!

- How are you?

- Thank you so much.

A director does that.

Points, takes questions, and mistreats.

I have both hands on the camera, so...

- Get out of the shot.

Get out of the shot or I'll kill you.

- Where are we gonna sit...

Film directors plan their films,

But things never turn out the way you think.

And you end up framing

the beautiful things that happen in front of you.

And making it work.

Nice photo.

Alright,

first of all,

thank you so much for coming,

today, a weekday,

at night, to watch a film here.

I'm truly grateful.

And well, I wanted to say that

if we could do it,

you guys can too.

So keep at it.

Anyway.

Long live national cinema.

You say you're not in love

but you cut it right there,

just when the husband...

The husband didn't speak

a producer spoke.

Husbands don't speak like that.

A producer speaks about productions.

A husband speaks about his wife.

Right?

He didn't say anything.

After that, we watched "Margarita".

The documentary starts here,

but I'm not sure I want to make it anymore.

Thanks.
