THE RED CARPET

Manuel Fernandèz, Iosu Lòpez | Spain | 2012 | 12'

 

158 million people in India live in slums and in extreme conditions. Millions of children play among piles of rubbish, rats and excrement. In the slums of Garib Nagar, in the district of Bandra in Mumbai, lives Rubina, a twelve years old girl who once has appeared as an extra in the film "Slumdog Millionaire" and since then wishes to become an actress to improve the living conditions of those who surround her.

"The red carpet", selected in several international festivals, won, among other awards, the Tropic of Europe Prize at the Festival Internacional de Cortos de Almuñecar.

 

Manuel Fernández graduated in Communication Sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid and studied cinematography at the University of Sydney (SCA). After working for years as publicist, he moved to Australia where he begun working in the film industry. He is the director of "Esperanto: Those who love music, love life"; of "The Imp of the Perverse", and of the short-length "31st of April".

 

Iosu Lopez works for many years with the most important Spanish media, but quite suddenly he abandons his career to make true a childhood dream: to travel from North to South America by land. The result of this choice is "The American Seam", the autobiographical tale of a lonely journey lasted more than ten months and 45,000 kilometres from Alaska to Argentina.
