Between 2010 and 2013, Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña created a series of short films entitled The Third World. The series is made up of Padre.Madre., El Templo, El Arca and Los Andes. The artists described the films as the foundational chapters of a new creed. They present a savage procession, moving between sacred and intimate, beautiful and horrific, canonical and arbitrary, sublime and bestial. Every film is both the beginning of a myth and its immediate decay. In Los Andes, a restless primal spirit takes possession of an office. Drawings appear on the walls, plant-like forms sprout from the computer and overgrow the desktop. As it finds its way trough the office space, the mysterious entity transforms into the limbs of a giant and dissolves again. (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam)
