, Juan Sebastian Mesa’s second film, “Rust,” mow world premieres at San Sebastian.
Right from the first shot – a long camera movement that crosses the skies showing the expanse of green in the valley until finally reaching Jorge – Mesa uses a clear and controlled language that patiently observes while always finding a kinetic direction for the camera. My parents and most of my family are from the coffee zone of the southwest of Colombia’s Antioquia and it is a place that I have visited many times. My life is basically between these two worlds, between the city and this town. The whole thing of leaving and returning and not feeling that one belongs is very close to me. I started asking myself what would have happened if I stayed here, if I hadn’t left the country, if I had stayed on this farm.
During the process, many people told me these are two films, dividing the film in two. As it is filmed, it is very much like this. There is a matter of language that differentiates the two moments, these small brushstrokes of the character’s daily life that make a portrait of his context, of his way of seeing the world. I was very interested in talking about those rituals, how reality is traversed by a lot of beliefs, syncretism, that make you see things in some way.
