Eduardo Williams: “My hope is that you can forget about the camera, and just be there with the people”

12 December, 2023

On the morning that I meet Eduardo Williams, one of the brightest stars of contemporary experimental cinema, the clocks have just gone forward to autumn time – after a partial lunar eclipse had clothed the sky in a somewhat surreal, magical atmosphere the night before. The movement of the stars and humanity's adjustment to them seems a good sign under which to begin our little interview taking place during the Viennale, for there is something about it that mirrors the wonder that is El auge del humano III (The Human Surge III), his second feature, released seven years after his first, which won the Golden Leopard at Locarno in the Cineasti del Presente competition – El auge del humano. (In case you're wondering – yes, there is no Human Suge II… yet?)
