Julio Zachrisson's Surreal, Provocative World Chronicled in 'The Sorcerer': 'Art is Useless, But We Can't Live Without It,' Says the Artist - IMDb
Set to premiere at the Panama International Film Festival (Iff Panama), Félix “Trillo” Guardia’s debut feature-length documentary “The Sorcerer: Julio Zachrisson” celebrates the provocative legacy of Panamanian artist Julio Zachrisson.
Produced by Tomás Cortés of Cine Animal, with the backing of Panama’s Ministry of Culture, the film melds animation, archival footage, and interviews to chronicle Guardia’s personal quest sparked by childhood memories of Zachrisson’s unsettling yet fascinating artworks.
“The first time I saw one of Zachrisson’s prints, I thought it was the ugliest thing ever created. Hanging in my grandmother’s elegant living room, the piece clashed with the rest of the collection.” Guardia explained in his statement. “It depicted a graphic scene of a woman defecating on a plate while a hungry dog watched her. I was 12 years old, and I’ll never forget the impact it had on me.”
