El Estado soy Yo is one of those curious documentaries that plays with the boundaries of visual storytelling. The film crafts a disjointed yet intriguing narrative by contrasting the historic landing of Columbia with deeper musings about art and its purpose. It’s not just about the visuals, though; there's a certain rawness to the pacing that invites you to linger on your thoughts. The practical effects used to convey the journey of the expedition feel almost nostalgic, while the reflections on artistic creation feel timely, even today. The director, shrouded in anonymity, really pulls you into this questioning of what it means to create and to observe. It’s definitely a unique piece that stands out in the landscape of early 80s documentaries.
