Abstract

Behind the sea, inside the abandoned Bellavista-Oveja Tomé textile factory, the machinery still breathes and the threads hang expectantly.

Deshilacha is an experimental "non-fiction" short film that moves across the border of fiction through a first-person point of view. The spectator discovers, without text or voice, the factory's spinning mill building.

The textile mill, founded in 1865, was for years one of the main textile industries in Latin America and a remarkable source of work for Tomé. The factory, considered an architectural heritage site, went bankrupt in 2007, leaving a large part of the building unused and the traces, vestiges and machines intact in an eerie silence.

The short film, tinted with a dramatic and mysterious tone, guides us through the building, arousing curiosity to reveal every corner and element present in the place. A tense interplay of textures, iron, fabrics and buttons takes the viewer on an intimate journey with surrealist overtones, where machines are the protagonists in narrating their own story.
