Made in Central de Abastos

About This Movie

So, 'Made in Central de Abastos' is this fascinating animated piece that takes you inside the chaotic world of a massive food market. It’s not just about the food itself but the life that pulses through those narrow corridors and busy stalls. The pacing is a bit uneven, which oddly adds to the feel of wandering through the market—sometimes you rush, other times you linger. There’s a rawness to it, with practical effects giving a tactile sense to the animation. It’s almost meditative, really, reflecting on consumption and the hustle of daily life. You don’t often see animation tackle these themes in such a grounded way, and that's what makes it stand out.
