Inner Outer Space

Lertxundis first film since relocating to Spain from California in 2019 is a triptych composed of three independent and yet interrelated pieces Teatrillo Inner Outer Space and Under the Nothing Night A new setting for the filmmaker but the same sundrenched blue sky and sea Like all of Lertxundis work Inner Outer Space is a film about relationships between characters between characters and landscape between image and sound but also and ultimately a deconstruction of the production process that highlights materiality and artifice Just like the blindfolded woman in the film who attempts to orientate herself in a new geography Lertxundi is learning through the making of a film to reacquaint herself with the landscape of her native Basque Country The concluding chapter in which two young women perform a mysterious choreography to the projected images of waves is an outburst of pure feeling
