Director Statement

A few months ago I went to my grandparents to help them pick up the olives and get the olive oil out. Once, I was watching the news with them on TV, I had strong emotions about what I saw and at the same time I was answering the naive questions that my grandmother did. 'Oil and revolution' is a reflection of the emotions of this experience. In this movie I chose to make a collage using parts of real news archive and fictional parts. I invaded inside the news, creating a reactionary character that is making a revolution to the world in a paradoxical way.
