“Fandangô de Carmen Porter” By Califato ¾
Synopsis
“Fandango de Carmen Porter” is a music video set against the backdrop of a rural Spanish salt mine in the 50s. Filmed in 16mm black and white, it tells the story of Jesús, a salt miner whose young daughter dies in a tragic accident.
Unable to cope with her death, his grief drives him into obsession – to the point where he begins seeing his daughter as a Marian apparition. As his obsession grows, he gains a cult like following within his village, with others keen to see the Virgin for themselves.
The story ends with Jesús cutting out his own eyes in order to become blind to the world, and keep living with visions of his daughter in his own mind.
Directors statement
Sometimes, when you want to do something new it’s better to look at the past. ln a moment where every trendy music video is fast-paced and colorful, we decided to look back to the past and make this slow drama-short film-music video in 16mm B/W inspired in Spain in the '50s.
