Sobre cosas que me han pasado is based on the book by author Marcelo Matthey, narrating his own life in a style reminiscent of school compositions. His constant strolls through streets, houses and beaches are recorded in notes of what he saw, felt or thought during these wanderings or moments, but almost only recalling the processes, the timeline in which things occur and come to mind, the trail of associations coming one after the other, like the steps of a person walking along a street. Immediate impressions, fleeting moments normally lost in time and which are captured in the images and sounds of this short film.
José Luis Torres Leiva won the FIPRESCI Prize in Rotterdam with his first feature, El cielo, la tierra y la lluvia (2008). The second, Verano (2011), premiered in the Orizzonti section in Venice. El viento sabe que vuelvo a casa (The Wind Knows I'm Coming Back Home) participated in San Sebastian's Zabaltegi section in 2016, returning to the same section in 2017 (also the year he was president of the International Film Students Meeting jury) with the short El sueño de Ana. He is currently preparing the feature Vendrá la muerte y tendrá tus ojos, selected as a project for the Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum in 2016.
