Skin and Masks

Interviews with Spanish actors
Skin and masks, conversations with Spanish actors, aims to give actors a voice and let them speak for themselves out of character having removed the mask they put on for work. The goal of these thirteen conversations with actors is to for them to be able to discover themselves as the creators of film, so they can be seen as more than just the visible and superficial face of film.

The actors reflect on essential questions affecting their work: How do I turn myself into that other person who is not me? The daily realities of making films are discussed, of accessing the tools required on the set to construct a role. An interpretation requires effort, method, tricks, construction, consistency, design… And somehow, as is the case for all techniques, this can be explained.
