PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Maria Luz Olivares Capelle, director of “Forest of Echoes” from Future Frames at the 51st KVIFF

Maria Luz Olivares Capelle, born in Argentina and living in Austria, was one of the participants of Future Frames, the European Film Promotion’s platform highlighting up and coming talented filmmakers from different European countries.

The story of her film Forest of Echoes is quite interesting, particularly due to its journey beginning through research from a documentary she worked on herself, which then developed into a fiction film. While the film stars children and it is a film with children, it is not, as she says, a film for children (at least not exclusively). Aside from talking about this film, we also discuss her experience at Future Frames in Karlovy Vary and she reveals to us some future ambitions, plans and projects.

FOREST OF ECHOES: A teenager, Christina, loses her friends in the forest. Looking for them she finds the bodies of three drowned kids on the shore of a lagoon. On summer holiday, deep in the woods, three kids, cousins, are playing around a lake when they find a drowned young woman drifting in the water. Games, lies and rituals unfolding into a circular time in which death loses its ultimacy. What is real and what is a mirage? Who is dreaming and who is being dreamed?
