El Father Plays Himself

Movie
2020
1h 45m
Spanish
Documentary
A young film director returns to Venezuela, inspired to make a film based on his father's life in the Amazon jungle (La Fortaleza, Jorge Thielen Armand). He casts Father to play himself. What starts as an act of love and ambition — filmmaking to more deeply understand the self, and the other — spirals into a process which confronts Father’s struggles with addiction and his life devoid of his son. EL FATHER PLAYS HIMSELF holds a steady lens to the way the act of cinema unearths, binds, heals and destroys.

[KFF] Between making of and psychodrama, this documentary shows us the filming of "La Fortaleza" (Jorge Thielen Armand, 2020). The protagonist is the director's alcoholic father, a kind of Colombian Klaus Kinski. The mix of reality and fiction is both fascinating and debatable. The documentary aims to go deeper than it achieves.
