Fanda Films, presents ‘The working dead’, a bizarre social critic with a zombie flavour, winner of
7
awards as well as over 50
official selections.
An inconsequential
seventies office filled with dull and grey workers. Suddenly, the
president arrives and the annual report he has requested is not anywhere near
ready. What could possibly be a better way to avoid a fight
with the boss than to play dead? When all seems lost, rising
again soon turns into the only hope. Long live the zombies!
This comedy has travelled
halfway around the world due to its universal sense of humour.
Even though it is set in Spain’s current precarious labour situation, it has managed to surpass borders due to its unique
vision of just how far society is capable
of degrading the human being in his misery to get a decent job. Marked by the kitsch aesthetics prevalent in the
seventies (executed by Laura Lostalé) and filmed in its entirety
at the offices of Granalu, Segovia, Spain.
Apart from the usual
director-actor duo formed by Fernando González and Niko Verona, we highlight the participation of
known Spanish actors such as Fermí Fernández and Fernando
Tielve, as well as an original soundtrack by Alf Garret and Iker
Arranz, Fanda Films usual composers. Animation is another of its strong suits as are its credits,
created as a comic by Alex Díez
and Leyla Vargas, are a
clear tribute to Saul Bass.
