’Samsara’ Director Lois Patiño on His Playful Shakespearian Pic ‘Ariel’, Backed by RTP in Portugal, TVG Galicia (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Samara’ director Lois Patiño will unveil 40-50 minute footage of his awaited new feature ‘Ariel' at ECAM Forum in Madrid.
Lois Patiño, one of the leading lights of the New Galician Cinema in Spain, is putting the final touches to “Ariel,” the highly anticipated follow up to his critically-acclaimed feature ”Samsara” which has secured distribution in more than a dozen territories and won a Special Jury Prize at the Berlinale Encounters 2023. A contemporary and playful reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” from the perspective of the character Ariel, the feature, produced by Spain’s Filmika Galaika with Portugal’s Bando à Parte, will be sneak-peeked for the first time ever at the inaugural ECAM Forum co-production market, set to run June 10-14 in Madrid. Therefore next to the professional actors, we’ve asked local people, amateurs, to play Shakespearean characters (such as Othello, Hamlet) in a supermarket, in the hall of a hotel, in a parking, in a petrol station.
