September 15, 2008 by cinecantina

“Carlos Catani”, a short film about some things, will be featured in 2008 edition of Coney Island Film Festival, on Saturday September 27th at 1pm. If you have a heart inside your rib cage, you cannot help but feel like life is worth living once you are in Coney Island. Caros Catani was shot in Coney Island and Brighton Beach so it is very appropriate to open at this historical Festival. 

The mission of the Coney Island Film Festival is to raise funds for the non-profit arts organization Coney Island USA and to present an engaging and entertaining program of films in the heart of Brooklyn’s most storied neighborhood.

Carlos Catani Trailer 1

August 26, 2008 by cinecantina

 

 

Carlos Catani likes alliterated names, taking long train rides and standing on street corners, but he does not feel comfortable at the beach because the sun burns his skin. He is also married to a woman named Margarita Morteo Muñoz. What do you think about his life? Can you help him get over his introspective stage?

Shot on Super 8 film, Carlos Catani is  assembled as a nostalgic photo album, which finds its nest in some of New York City’s last remaining “un-gentrified” locations. Fluctuating between absurd melancholia and deadpan innuendo, the short film provides a particular version of the filmed journal genre, with equal parts humor and sincerity. 

Carlos Catani’s narrative toys with the idea that identity is an ever-changing concoction— on occasions real, but, more often than not, plain wishful thinking at best.
