this video won the 'special mention' award at rutger hauers www.icfilms.org international filmfestival in milano 2010. thanks again for this wonderful recognition of my work.
Korte film over Don Justo Gallego, een 83 jarige ex-monnik die al 50 jaar in zijn eentje een kathedraal bouwt. Filmmaakster Maria Heidemann maakt een portret van deze man die nooit opgeeft, op integere, haast intieme wijze. Unieke beelden van Don Justo aan het werk, vol met wilskracht en op zijn zwakste momenten. Een film die het hart van de kijker raakt.
Inzending voor de Korte Film competitie van het Nederlands Online Filmfestival NOFF 2009, onderdeel van het NFF in Utrecht.
A short movie about Don Justo Gallego, an 85 year old former monk in Spain. 50 years ago he started to build a cathedral on his own after he almost died. Not bothered by heat, cold, rain, wind, Don Justo works 6 days a week, 12 hours a day to follow his devotion.
Filmmaker Maria Heidemann shows a portrait of this man who never gives up in an integer, almost intimate way. Unique pictures of Don Justo at work: full of determination and in his weakest moments. A film that touches the heart of the spectator.
Don Justo Gallego NOFF online version 2009, as part of NFF Utrecht.
With all my respects to Don Justo....

  • yes the movie does speak for itself, and very 'powerfully spoken' it is too, i love this movie.

  • 0 haters found this video; today is a good day.

  • A beautifully atmospheric film on the cathedral in Mejorada del Campo near Madrid which Justo Gallego has been building almost single handedly for over 50 years as an act of faith and devotion.

  • die piano! hoofdpijn krijg ik ervan.

  • Zeer goede deocumentaire

    van een van de laatste Heiligen in Spanje.
