Friendship and Fantasy Intertwine in ‘Don’t You Let Me Go’ as It Heads to Huelva After Tribeca Win
The unique joy of friendship is at the fore in helmers Ana Guevara and Leticia Jorge’s “Don’t You Let Me Go.” Produced by Uruguay-based Agustina Chiarino's Bocacha Films, the feature clinched the Noah Ephron Award at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
From this moment, the narrative via the fantastical transports viewers back in time to a joyful weekend with Elena (Vicky Jorge) and their friend Luci (Eva Dans). “In her most vulnerable moment, Adela manages to summon a bus that lets her travel through time, similar to the Catbus in “My Neighbour Totoro.” Thus, the rules of the world she arrives in must necessarily be different. Don’t You Let Me Go specifically wouldn’t have been made if we hadn’t been together—for both the emotional challenge it entailed and the desire to share it.Regarding decisions, it’s a very free and playful film; it was like a game where we allowed each other to be carried away.
