Pablo tells the saga of the “famously unknown” Pablo Ferro. Ferro has worked for over 5 decades creating iconic trailer campaigns and opening sequences for films such as The Thomas Crown Affair, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Men in Black 3, and Larry Crown. Pablo is credited as “the father of the 60’s look” and for much of the MTV aesthetics. Ferro is recognized for introducing narrative and nonlinear dimensions to design for films, changing our visual expectations and demonstrating the power of design to enhance storytelling.
The documentary is a Brazil and United States co-production that blends documentary and animation elements to tell the saga He is a man with a personal journey that spans from pre-revolution Havana to his current home in the garage behind his son’s house.
Produced by Jeremy Goldgewicht and narrated by the Oscar award winner Jeff Bridges, Pablo features interviews with Angelica Houston, Jon Voight, Andy Garcia, Stan Lee and Beau Bridges. The film was directed by Richard Goldgewicht as well as co-written by him, Neil Katcher and Adam Trunell. The running time is 93 minutes in English.
“I was inspired by Pablo which led to us honoring Pablo Ferro this year. He represents & embodies the meaning of the “Gabi” the Gabriel Figueroa Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Marlene Dermer, Cofounder/ Executive Director/Programmer of LALIFF. “A Latin artist who made his mark & contributed to the world of cinema!”
