A new documentary film by AA alumnus Álvaro F Pulpeiro has been featured in the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival (CPH:DOX). The film, titled So Foul a Sky is inspired by the writings of Joseph Conrad, and documents humanitarian crises facing present-day Venezuela.

Álvaro commented that the film 'aspires to find a place as a lyrical piece that alternates between gritty realism and radical intimacy. We turn the spotlight on the figure of the pariah, stripped of national identity and the rights that come with citizenship, through a series of encounters with people who, whether consciously or unconsciously, have turned their backs to that which will force them to pick a side in the conflict devastating the country. In the company of pilgrims and pirates, we travel through lands symbolically abandoned by a (possibly fictionalised) bloodline, whose exile seems to have led them to a true home.'
