THE-K-EFFECT.-STALINS-EDITOR-

Valenti Figueres Jorge (Spain), The K Effect. Stalin’s Editor, feature film, is a most unusual tale, an adventure into the dawning of cinema and utopias, an historical road movie during a century shaken by the dreams of new societies and dreadful nightmares. This is a dreamy fiction movie with fabricated memories of self-importance constructed with fragments of reality. http://vimeo.com/50755155
