So Foul a Sky

Screening time  
07.04. / Thursday, 22:00 - 00:00 Theatre 3 Ticket

Under shadows cast by colossal oil refineries, the film presents a journey through several frontier lands of Venezuela –  the world's first petro-state – now shaken by the worst political and humanitarian crisis South America has experienced in the 21st century. So Foul a Sky is a cinematographic meditation on the fragile and conflictive relationship between the citizen and a state that has ceased to provide meaning, future, and identity. It explores the concept of the orphan deprived from its identity and national rights through a series of sporadic encounters with people who live, conscious or unconscious, rejecting all that binds them to take on sides from the active political conflict devastating Venezuela.
