Directed by

Documentary

Synopsis

At 91 years old, Gustavo Bueno is a living example of the philosopher, in the sense that Plato gave to this activity in his myth of the cave 2,500 years ago: in our complex world saturated with information, objects and ideas that often stun us, philosophical criticism allows us to reinterpret the appearances and shadows to which we are chained. The role of the philosopher is to constantly return to the cave to undo its shadows, as Gustavo Bueno literally did when he went down into the mines in the 70s or when he went to television sets to debate about ""Gran Hermano"".

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
