EL FATHER PLAYS HIMSELF
A father and son return to the Amazon jungle to shoot a deeply personal film. Fiction and reality clash as father plays himself.
A young film director returns to Venezuela, inspired to make a film based on his father's life in the Amazon jungle. 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.
“Riveting intensity... a tantalizing house of mirrors.”
— The Hollywood Reporter
"Utterly engrossing"
— Sight & Sound
“Sincerely one of the best films of 2020.”
— Criterion Cast

EL FATHER COMO SĂŤ MISMO
Un exiliado director de cine venezolano regresa a su paĂs para hacer una pelĂcula de ficciĂłn basada en su propio, autodestructivo, padre.
Un joven cineasta regresa a la selva amazĂłnica de Venezuela para hacer una pelĂcula basada en la vida de su padre a quien le otorga el papel de sĂ mismo. Lo que comienza como un acto de amor y ambiciĂłn, filmar para comprenderse a uno mismo y al otro de manera más profunda, se convierte en un proceso que muestra la lucha del padre con la adicciĂłn y su vida sin su hijo. EL FATHER COMO SĂŤ MISMO mantiene un foco firme en cĂłmo el cine desentierra, une, cura y destruye.
