MDFF and The Seventh Art present the Toronto premiere of Jazmin Lopez's debit feature Leones at Camera on Saturday, March 28th.

Is this a story about five friends wandering through a forest, or is it about a forest that receives five visitors? In this metaphysical trance film, the verdant environment is as much a character as the youngsters, enfolding them as they move through it, their playful banter, word games, and ruminations filling the air. In a succession of long takes shot by Matas Mesa, a frequent collaborator of Gus Van Sant, a gliding camera follows this enigmatic hike to nowhere. Nothing is what it seems, but a malfunctioning tape recording may contain an explanation.

Tickets available at the door starting at 7pm. The film starts at 8pm. $10
