Program Note
El Planeta is a debut feature of Amalia Ulman who is famous for Excellences & Perfections, a performing art show featured at Tate Modern in 2014, as well as on her Instagram (@amaliaulman). When her father dies, Leo stops her study in fashion design in London and returns to her hometown Gijón, a coastal city in northern Spain, where her eccentric mother Maria lives. In a city experiencing downturn with tourists decreasing after an economic crisis, the mother and daughter lead an uneasy life. The director focuses on the frivolous and reckless routines of their daily life while fluidly crossing the boundary between fiction and documentary. The film is rhythmically developed on the black-and-white screen, reminiscent of Jim Jarmusch’s early works. In this love letter to the city of Gijón, the director and her mother, Ale Ulman who still lives in Gijón, play the mother-daughter duo themselves. (Ben CHO, SEO Seunghee)

Amalia ULMAN
Born in 1989 in Argentina, Amalia Ulman is an artist based in New York City. She studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London and her works show class imitation and the relationship between consumerism and identity. In addition to video, sculpture, and installation work, her multidisciplinary practice has involved the use of social media, magazine photoshoots, interviews, self-promotion, and brand endorsements as tools for the fabrication of fictional narratives. Ulman′s performance Excellences & Perfections was archived by Rhizome and the New Museum (New York) and exhibited at the Tate Modern and Whitechapel Gallery (London). Her most recent works are the video essay Annals of Private History (2015), Privilege (Online performance, 2015-2017), a short The Future Ahead (2016), Buyer Walker Rover, Aka. Then There (2019), and Sordid Scandal (2020) commissioned by the Tate Modern. El Planeta, which received great attention at the Sundance Film Festival this year, won the Best Director at the Buenos Aires Film Festival and the Jerusalem Film Festival.
