Glue
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Alexis Dos Santos, Release: 2006, Runtime: 110

Two boys, Lucas and Nacho, and their sidekick, Andrea, are growing up in a small remote town in Patagonia where they are experiencing the growing pains of adolescence. Lucas contends with his parents’ imminent divorce. Nacho obsesses over music and sex, while Andrea is preoccupied with her too-slowly developing body. Once the three connect they become inseparable. This award-winning feature by first-time filmmaker Alexis Dos Santos reflects an intensity only possible with a talented risk-taking cast and a story rooted in the director’s intimate knowledge of his subject. Scenes were shot in an improvisational style in digital video, capturing the wild beauty of Patagonia’s hot, dry and windswept summer landscape.

co-production: Argentina/UK

Alexis Dos Santos’ education includes studies in architecture, acting and filmmaking in Buenos Aires, acting in Barcelona, and directing at the National Film and Television School in London. Glue is his first feature.
