True Love (True Love)

Ion de Sosa
Spain / 2011 / 70 min. / Spanish with English subtitles

Ion lived in Berlin. Ion lived with his girlfriend Marta. Ion had two cameras, one was 16 mm and the other was a videocamera. With them, Ion portrayed his little universe: his room, his roommates, his girlfriend, a bar, his tattoos, and many streets. Until one day, Martin left Ion. The same spaces, but without her, the same house, now empty. A radical and minimalist work, between the video-diary and the experimental filmmaking, which proves the vitality of Spanish non-fiction cinema.

Cinematography director, experimental filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist, Ion de Sosa was born in San Sebastian in 1981 and began studying film in a school there and then went to Madrid to specialize in cinematography in ECAM. In 2004 he finished his studies and created a production company that produces documentaries with Brazil and Lebanon. From 2005 to 2010 has directed four short films :Berlin 19 º, Buttons Undefined, Love and pizza and Ulcer. True Love is his first feature film as director.
