Documentary. 56 minutes. France, Belgium. In French and Spanish with English
subtitles.
Francis Al˙s, a modern Belgian artist, is painter, video-maker and urban interventionist
all rolled into one. A resident of Mexico City for the last fifteen years, he has made the
sprawling city a full-scale laboratory for his strange and indefatigable quest of making
walking an “art”. He walks the roads trickling paint as he goes, trailing a
magnetised toy that collects the urban scrap and pushing a block of ice until it melts.
Julien Devaux delves into this unique and poetic work.Screenings
