Everyhting Else Is Noise

  • Nicolás Pereda

Tere is a musician and composer who has lent her flat to a fellow artist for a television interview. But as soon as the conversation begins, it spirals out of control. Noise from outside, equipment fails, and her daughter, witty and sharp-tongued, interferes. Mother and daughter take pleasure in dissecting the rituals and vanities of the art world, exposing its attitudes and sexisms. They do so with refreshing honesty and calm.

A woman is leaning against a wall. She has a small smile on her face. The white wall is covered in posters and flyers. Behind her there is a bookshelf..

DIRECTOR

  • Nicolás Pereda

    Nicolás Pereda (born 1982) is a Mexican-Canadian filmmaker whose work blurs the lines between documentary and fiction. His meticulously composed films and understated characters explore the mysteries of everyday life among Mexico’s working class. Seemingly banal situations unfold into a multi-layered blend of humor, absurdity, and social reality. Pereda frequently works with a core ensemble of professional and non-professional actors and actresses, incorporating biographical elements from his cast members.
