You Are All Captains (Todos vós sodes capitáns)
Seattle Premiere!
(Oliver Laxe, Spain/Morocco, 2010, 35mm, 79min)
Compared with the films of Abbas Kiarostami and Francois Truffaut, Spanish-French director Oliver Laxe's You Are All Captains follows a self-described "neo-colonialist" filmmaker, playfully portrayed by Laxe, who goes to Tangier ostensibly to hold a series of workshops for disadvantaged street children. It quickly becomes clear, however, that Laxe's intention is to turn these children into pawns in his own feature. The film questions cinema's role in cultural exchange by deftly blurring the line between fiction and documentary. You Are All Captains unveils though its magnificent black-and-white images of daily life, the problems of filmmaking in a global economic reality. A mysterious, whimsical and unique creation that won the FIPRESCI prize at Cannes.
