A great example of how a “corporate video” doesn’t need to be boring: it can also be a work of art. Guillermo Mendoza carries on the traditions taught to him by his gaucho grandfather and forges Damascus steel knives by hand. He has never met a metal he cannot turn into a knife, until he receives a package and a challenge: to make a knife out of a meteorite.
Winner of Best Documentary in Tandil Cortos 2010 and entered competition in five other international festivals, including Sydney Latin American Film Festival.
