SPAIN / Madrid, interior set during lock-down

Spanish director Juan Cavestany used the two months of his confinement to make a film: Madrid, interior. It was shot between March 24th and April 24th using the director’s friends and family, a few well-known people but mostly unknowns. The documentary shows more than a hundred people at home during the lock-down, all filmed by using their mobile phones. Scenes were recorded in various cities – London, New York, Seville, Barcelona and Valencia.

Juan Cavestany explains that he began the 75-minute film in the first days of the confinement. “We started making our own videos, filming trivial moments like sleeping on the sofa or brushing our teeth.” Putting all these moments together gave a wide cross-section of daily activities, described by the director as “a very personal experience of life under lock-down which has turned into a film with moments of comedy and drama. Moving moments.
