La transformacion del cine en musica has its world premiere at FICM

"Eugenia León (singer) invited us to work on a project in which we had to
record a series of songs from Mexican movies. She not only asked Julian and me
but a group of musicians as well. Each of the 22 songs included in this album
named Cine were performed by important singers and musicians such as Fernando de
la Mora, Tambuco and others," revealed the filmmaker.  "Each of the songs was
performed by a different musician and what we did was to film the recording
process of all of them. Then we selected eight themes from the album." 

"What you will see in the film is the process of making the album. Many
important events were captured by our cameras, such as the repercussions of the
sudden death of Marcial Alejandro, the composer for Eugenia Leon. Another
important event that we documented was the A1H1 flu epidemic, and many of the
accidents Eugenia had. Everything is in the documentary so I hope you enjoy it
as much as we do," he concluded.
