Obsolete Impressions (Impresiones obsoletas)

Italy, Dominican Republic / 2014 / Colour / HD / 7'

Synopsis

Jesús Grullón has worked for more than 30 years in his typography together with a few co-workers and his tireless machines.
Despite the advent of digital, José decided to continue working with the same machines ever.
From this resistance comes not a rejection of what is new but it’s a dynamic wise reflection on the union between man and machine, where knowledge of new digital techniques create a union with the mechanical obsolete in a place that seems to have stopped in time.
