Ariel is a play-within-a-play on film, about an Argentine actress who sets ashore a strange and enchanting island where its inhabitants have transcended into Shakespearian characters. Lois Patiño adorns his latest feature with sparkling waterscapes and enchanting terrains that are seemingly possessed by otherworldly energies.
Lois Patiño combined his Psychology studies at UCM with cinema studies at TAI in Madrid. His films - including Samsara (2023), Red Moon Tide (2020). and Coast of Death (2013) - have been shown and won awards at various international festivals as Locarno, Rotterdam, Toronto, San Francisco, Ann Arbour, Cinema du Rèel, Viennale, and Media City.
