Macu Machín’s ‘The Undergrowth’ Wins Top Prize at Tenerife-Based MiradasDoc
Macu Machín’s 'The Undergrowth' won the top Canarian prize at the 17th MiradasDoc, which ran March 15-22 in Tenerife, Spain.
A Special Mention in Mirada Canaria went to “Bloom,” (Helena Girón and Samuel M. Delgado, “They Carry Death”), which continues the exploration by the filmmaker duo of myth – understood as narratives shaping a society’s consciousness. Said MiradasDoc Market head, Lara Sousa: “Just like the films presented at the festival, the projects beginning their development in our labs serve as unique lifeboats in contemporary audiovisual reality. “MiradasDoc Market consolidates itself as a meeting point for Southern audiovisual projects, two regions very close to the Canary Islands: Africa and Latin America, which articulate a language of documentary cinema that is distinct and original,” she added.
