2. Reflexive messages
Meanwhile
the film reproduces we, and by we I mean Juan Daniel Rojas, Juan José Silva and
Abril Victoria González will say a reflexive messages according to the sin that
is going to be represented currently in the scene.
The messages are the following ones:
Sloth
Sloth can be
somehow interpreted as fear. We can´t bear to do our work because if we were to
apply ourselves, we risk humiliation. We might not succeed as well as we’d like
to, we might find something to hard or the most scary one, we may realize we’re
not yet equipped to face the world and its challenges. These aren’t failings,
they are worries. Worries that we will defeat.
Lust
We search,
search and search for love, for someone, for feelings. And we search not as an
act of degeneracy but as an act of expressing our loneliness. Experiencing lust
is exciting, the problem is that the desire of love is to give, meanwhile the
desire of lust is to take. Lust lasts until it’s time to make a sacrifice.
Envy
Envy
reflects the notion that we are incomplete, imperfect and most importantly in
need of improvement. Envy only lasts longer than the happiness of those you
envy.
Gluttony
We buy and
eat too much food not because we are greedy but because we are emotionally
starving. Gluttony is an escape, is a sign that something in our inside is
consuming us, not our outside. We want love, happiness, satisfaction,
proudness, whatever, maybe all together. And we want it more than we want
calories, I can assure you that, the problem is we don´t know how to find it.
Our desire to eat isn’t essentially bad, it’s essentially human, it simply hasn’t
found its ideal target to be fully satisfied with.
Wrath
We don´t measure the consequences
and the impact of the things we say, specially when we experiencing anger.
Although this words of hate and rage towards others are a result of panic and
anxiety and are almost, never truly meant. They have a more intense impact that
we could even imagine. We need to be careful and when someone is angry,
appreciate their fragility, not berate them for their roars.
Greed
The
uncontrolable urge of taking more than the reasonable amount that we should, is
really a reaction towards a feeling of deprivation, we feel so neglected and
vulnerable, we require more and more. To others we already look advantaged and
privileged, but inside we just feel desperate.
As Henry Ford said: “A man given to
pride is usually proud of the wrong thing.” Remember pride will always be the
longest distance between two people. Pride is at the bottom of all great
mistakes.
3. Opinion
When we were
discussing our personal opinion towards the festival, we realized that as a
group we all have the same opinion about it. That’s why we did one opinion on
which we included all the personal ideas.
The
Film Festival is a project that is challenging. That’s for sure. We needed to
learn and practice skills we didn’t even know we had in the first place. So it
wasn’t easy, however we found we were good for things we didn’t know, specially
when it came the moment to edit the video (no one knew how to) so we had to be
very intelligent and disciplined.
What
made the film festival even harder was the time it was chosen, yet we are
currently in exams. This can be interpreted in two ways: it was whether a
lesson to manage our time appropriately or a lesson that this experience needs
to take place in another moment of the year.
We knew how
to work in group although we had some differences. And we are truly satisfied
with the work we did. Indeed this is a project that was worth the shot.

Abello and Juan Daniel Rojas.
