The Goalkeeper and the Void by Marta Azparren
Featuring the words of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, The Goalkeeper and the Void was a Jury winning film at the 2011 Machinima Expo, and primarily uses footage from the video game Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven). Though Chillida became famous for his abstract sculptures, when he was young he was the goalkeeper for Real Sociedad in San Sebastián from 1942 to 1943 before studying architecture at the University of Madrid. Using the relative freedom of a football pitch constrained to the reality of a video game, Marta Azparren is able to capture the essence of the “spatio-temporal intuitions” a goalkeeper must manage.
As Chillida states, “the conditions needed to be a good goalkeeper and a good sculptor are almost the same.”
