El Gran Movimiento

A film by Kiro Russo

Stunningly shot in the Bolivian mountains, jungles and in contemporary La Paz, the film follows Elder who arrives in the capital after a seven-day journey seeking to get back his work at a mine. Once in the city, Elder gets a job but his health soon deteriorates. An elderly woman known as Mama Pancha sends him to Max, a mysterious man who resides in the rainforest and occasionally heads to La Paz for work as a street performer. To save Elder, Max performs a series of shamanic rituals that slowly brings the young man back to life.

Coming soon

A thoroughly idiosyncratic and elliptical approach to the city symphony.

- In Review Online

Kiro Russo imposes his brilliant cinematographic personality and his highly original gift for conveying atmospheres.

- Cineurope

Fascinating in its suggestions and beautiful in its compositions.

- The Film Stage

It’s a small miracle.
