This remarkable companion piece to In the City of Sylvia offers a compendium of images recorded by Guerín in Strasbourg while searching for the traces of a (fictional?) brief encounter some years earlier with a young woman named Sylvia.
Cinematography
Every still frame aches with possibility; faces become landscapes.
Editing
Seamless interrogation of what's real, staged, remembered, imagined.
Director
José Luis Guerín
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Guerín pioneered 'docufiction' long before it became trendy; this film weaponizes the audience's trust in photographic truth.
The title's 'Some Photos' deliberately understates—each image is a potential Sylvia, a life unlived with her.
