Life
Born in Paris in 1982, Óliver Laxe grew up in France, Spain and Morocco. His first two films were presented in Cannes. Todos vós sodes capitáns , in which Laxe himself appears as a teacher in Tangier, was awarded the FIPRESCI Prize of the Quinzaine des réalisateurs there, Mimosas the Grand Prix of Critics' Week. For his third film Fire Will Come , which premiered in Cannes in May 2019 and was awarded the Un Certain Regard there, he went to Galicia, the land of his ancestors.
Alongside Eloy Enciso , Lois Patiño and Xacio Baño , Laxe is considered one of the leading figures on the inventive film scene in Galicia. His films invite the viewer to think about belief and mysticism by constantly breaking the boundaries between fiction and documentary, filmmaker and subject, landscape and figure, inside and outside, as well as spiritual and material worlds.
