as a child I wanted to concentrate
enough could fly I believed in the
power moon its light fills us with
energy and would let us do well in
top I always wore my amulet
also to attract good fortune
I used to daydream and believed in
power of the unknown
On Sundays it was sacred to go to the movies with
the friends
There I discovered that somehow the
dreams that I had in my mind charged
life through the movies to
As I was seeing more and more
movies is going back to me more
fanatic of this art and every time
I discovered new things that made me
hallucinating the cinema I had started
a friendship a friendship that by what
would come later would be great to do
would cement at that time was something very
distant almost unattainable
I remember that they told us you are going to die
of hunger is a hobby you can not dad
he has to do something else and above all
the big banks the big ones
generally to people and now that what
I think he took me away with the cry of reason
they had mostly because we do not count
with technology we did not have experience
some of us get together as a friend and
we get a camera a camera
homemade any video
we wrote a script without having the most
pale idea of how union is written
and we shot a short film with no idea of
how it was signed in short before everything
prognosis the result was a disaster
however we had done the short with
the soul and that meant absolutely
all
we had cut short we were the masters
of the universe nothing could stop us the
good kubrick said if it can be thought or
written can be filmed and I really
I think there is the question of
xunta if you can dream it can be done
in some way our dreams are the
result of the transformation of the
experiences that we live and the
influences that we have is why we
it is very important to walk with the mind
open to the world because this one has
much to offer us the basis of
things that I do nowadays are product
the books that we can that he heard but
we do not like the books that I read
movies that I see consumer art but
above all to pay attention to the
details of life details that can
be very, very important for more
little ones that one day seemed to be walking
by the city wave and I went through a
bacteria known from the place and in the
window of a sign that would be the
seed that would make a new
history
the lawyer simply said he
you need a clear woman assistant in my
mind was not just a simple sign
but it was the seeds that I was
giving birth to a new short the
story of a famous tailor who
it ends up absorbing the blood of its
beautiful assistant was vampire our
dreams are very important
dreaming is really very powerful
once I dreamed of
dark room from which a faint
light to the center and middle of the
room there was a bacterium
when I woke up I could not
get out of the head had to have a
battery played that my destiny was to be
drummer years have passed until
really get the silver for
buy me one turns out to be a lousy
drummer of the band soon after
but the money buy a camera one
camera that would be my companion to
adventures for a long time and it ‘s like that
at the end of everything is connected not the
situation for emerging artists
It has not changed much with time but
the key is to convert the
weaknesses in advantages and if there is a
thing that situation has done for me
it has been that he has given me things
much more important still has
given the possibility of working with
fantastic people disinterested and
wonderful that make dreaming be
a trip full of emotions and ties
of unwavering friendship are people who
makes it important to live the
I dream people who are going towards the same
side that one because of course there is the cinema
is not one in the process of doing
cinema a lot of people are mixed
they have the same goal and I think so
is the cutest thing of all there is the
true essence that people do what
important really be living the dream
one day a friend approached me so that
let’s have a little bit the the situation
my friend is a slightly older businessman
that I
approximately about 35 years older and I
approached for
give him if he would not like it and if not
I would like to act in a short film in the
I had to do vampire
he looks at me and tells me that cat or you know that
I am an entrepreneur I do not know if teacher but
is that the character is ideal for voice has
been thought of in a written vote by
grandfather voice
If so, then with all the taste
of the world
Count on Me for what you want and
end of accounts I was finished
having more fun than you that kind of
disinterested and detached attitudes
they make me love what I do because
there is the true essence of zinc
in human relationships that only
they give when the gears are articulated
of this great machinery that allows us
dream to tell when I discovered this
passion I realized that it was a way
to free to open up to others but
I also realized that counting
stories is a very responsibility
great because in some way we are
leaving a part of our soul to
world we are leaving a message and
We are marking footprints along the way
that someone may follow him with the step
of the years and after we did
many jobs mostly
short films because we are lovers of that
Format
we learned that counting on the soul
they bring their fruits
sometimes very good and that only doing
with the soul you can live the dream
You can ask how many of you
like movies you can raise your hand
centimeters almost all cases
2 for that reason is that we decide
share our experience with
others because there were people who really
he asked us about cinema that was
interested in it so we decided
create an annual free intensive workshop
short film the name is long but the
result is short a workshop or for a
certain number of people no matter
the age or the item that they want to live
experience the experience of doing yes
but not just an experience that you
immerse in the cinema but the experience
that immerses you in life itself
an experience that maybe they do not have
the opportunity to live in another
situation is an educational experience
that moves away from the traditional
the farmer shocked in one of those
commandments says no
you will study vogue cinema that was so
controversial a middle sentence about
everything if what you want is appreciable not
but it is a phrase that we understand
fullness
we know what I want to say with
that and that’s where we aim or
this workshop because we know that the
cinema must live the cinema should be
feel must be done leaving the skin in
but above all the process should
enjoy
I would like to read a little something
September 17, 2000 65
my name is artur I am now 81 years old
and I’m a retired dentist three years ago
days I found when reviewing some of
my papers a cut and I got to
thinking about life gave me joys and
sadness as to all mistakes
they strengthened my character and taught me
to stop or move on but as
all old man who sits and contemplates the
sun get lost over the horizon
I think and traveled with the imagination
remembering the past and between his eyes
I find myself saying if I had to
would have been more cunning would have run
with my ball
that day when with some friends
I broke the window to Dona Carmen
I probably would never have found my
whereabouts
my parents would have known about that
and I would have kept my ball but that
day learns to face and do
responsible for my acts
if it had been more prudent
learned to shut up before speaking
listen before reproaching
I probably would not have hurt the
that he did not deserve it and had
listened to the one who needed me
If I had eaten all the vegetables
as I missed my parents
possibly now he is in good health and
I was not suffering this blessed
drop
If I had been braver, I would have
taken the hand of that girl and
I would have said that I loved her and
we would probably have finished
months we had enjoyed and lived that
moment but it will also have something else
valuable experience because in this
life everything is summed up to that accumulate
experience experiences and it ‘s now that
I find this cut in the
hands and I wonder if I had written
that letter would not have cost anything
after all the movies I liked it
always but that time I let my
environment clouds me and laments
I thought that a dentist just has to
devote himself to his trade and that he should not
neglecting with false hopes
how wrong I was
the experiences are those that you
they serve to be a better person to have
always open mind and learn to
see things from another angle
it is so now my eighty one years
I write this letter full of illusion
reflection and a little melancholy
because now in my old age I return to
remember that it’s never too late to look
happiness and why not win a
more experience with which to depart
arturo ortiz river
this is a letter that sent us a
young man who wanted to be part of this
workshop with us to select a
the fellows asked us to
send letters of intent in which
creatively they can tell us why
they wanted to be part of this workshop is that
today it is one of the many that
we send because it’s the one I like the most
personally and also because of some
shape reflects that essence that is treated
to do in the cinema no matter what
we dedicate ourselves or whatever our business
whether we are a great chef
businessman who is going to change the world
a flower of activist architect a
master of singani or whatever but
never never stop feeling of dreaming
and tell because only in that way
we will find ourselves saying if there were
boy
he believed that the magic was real now of
big
I can affirm that it is so many
Thank you
[Applause]
