the Netherlands | 22' | 09/2015 | documentary

Two young brothers wander around in a big empty world without a clear destination. As society rages on around them at only a few yards distance, it couldn’t seem farther away. Together they try to escape reality, but how do you relate to an undeniable world that you don’t seem to be part of?

Isabel Lamberti

Biography

Isabel Lamberti was born in Germany, but grew up in Spain and later on, the Netherlands. She studied Film science at the University Of Amsterdam and studied a year abroad at Tisch School of the Arts in New York. There she made her first film, which got her accepted into the film academy of Amsterdam. Her third year film ‘Flaming Red’ was shown at several international film festivals and won the jury price at the Film by the Sea festival in 2014. In her films, Isabel concentrates less on narrative story and more on creating poetic worlds and painting landscapes to help symbolize the (inner)world of her characters. She has a preference for social realistic films and doesn’t like to make distinctions between documentary and fiction. Volando Voy is Isabel’s graduation film.
