The Double Steps Los pasos dobles

Isaki Lacuesta / Spain, Switzerland / 2011 / 86 min

Isaki Lacuesta based his visual masterpiece on the life and work of François Augiéras, an eccentric French painter and writer. To achieve the perfect blend of documentary and fiction, Lacuesta solicited the help of one of the currently most notorious Spanish artists, Miquel Barceló.

The best way to escape your persecutors without trace is to walk backwards over your own footsteps. That was the belief of François Augiéras, who painted every inch of the walls of a military bunker in the desert and let it sink into the sand so that no-one would find it until the 21st century. But who is Augiéras? A legionnaire, painter, writer, gangster, saint, thief, devil, or a little bit of them all?

»It’s a very physical film, and rather than seeking to entirely comprehend it one has to enjoy it, as if being told a fairy tale.« (Isaki Lacuesta)

Isaki Lacuesta
Born in 1975 in Gerona, Spain. He studied audiovisual communication at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and obtained a PhD from the Pompeu Fabra University. He currently teaches contemporary studies and makes films. The Double Steps is his fourth feature film.
