After writing an introduction to Leandro Taub's latest book La mente oculta, Alejandro Jodorowsky had a few encounters with him. Both of them knew each other's work, they shared interests such as the love for theater, films, books, esoteric subjects and they both had been writing on a daily basis for a community of people around the globe with whom they interacted and shared their vision of the world with a goal to improve it (Twitter and Facebook accounts of Leandro Taub).
The house of Alejandro in Paris was the meeting point that gave birth to the idea of having Leandro participating in his latest movie Poesia Sin Fin. Leandro would personify Enrique Lihn, Alejandro youth's best friend. Ten months after their first meeting the production began in Chile. The preparation for the film was intense but worth it. During the 2 months of shooting the script was brought to life and the story was told. The experience allowed both artists to take a closer look to each other and created a deeper relationship.
Poesia Sin Fin will premiere at the Quinzaine Réalisateurs of the Festival de Cannes this year. Leandro is going to travel to France to join Alejandro during the premiere of the film and press conference.
A few days before the premier Leandro will start giving interviews and answering questions in regards to the movie.
If you would like to have the opportunity to interview Leandro please write to the contact information and we will respond to you shortly.
Sincerely,
Luz
