Next to the volcano

About This Movie

Next to the Volcano offers an intriguing peek behind the curtain of The Wild Boys, a film that’s already rich in atmosphere. Elina Löwensohn’s use of her Super 8 camera adds this grainy, intimate quality that feels almost voyeuristic. You can sense the raw energy and spontaneity of the filmmaking process. The pacing is relaxed, letting moments breathe, which balances the frenetic vibe of Mandico's work. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a meditation on creativity and chaos. The performances, even in this behind-the-scenes format, carry that same spirit of exploration. There’s a tangible sense of place here, with the volcano looming – it’s a metaphor for the raw power of art itself. Really something special for collectors who appreciate the artistry behind the lens.
