Filmmakers Speak Out

This is a trailer for the Argentinian film, Moebius. It was created by a professor and a bunch of his students and has earned international accalaim. A moebius strip has no end, you can make one by taking a strip of paper, twisting it and taping the ends together. If you trace a line around it, it would eventually run back into itself.

So the film is an allegorical sci-fi movie. Gustavo (the director) was also an engineer thus the sci-fi story, but the underlying message is about the "disappeared" in Argentina that I mentioned in my last blogs. The idea is that there is a subway full of people that is trapped on a moebius strip, still out there but unacknowledged by society and the government.

Gustavo worked on a very small budget and used his engineering skills to rig a camera on the subway to get the crazy tunnel shots.
