Orensanz

Orensanz is the antithesis of the conventional biopic. The film begins as a guided tour through one of the Lower East Side’s most singular artistic landmarks, only to unfold into a revealing journey deep into the Aragonese Pyrenees and its people. Contemporary artist Ángel Orensanz becomes the hinge between Manhattan and the remote village of Larués, Spain: an elusive, omnipresent man who seems to exist everywhere and nowhere at once. The film questions the very idea of what we understand an artist to be, searching for possible answers that may help redefine the collective imagination surrounding the figure of the creative genius.
