The Power of Sound & Vengeance w/ Pierre Saint Martin, “No Nos Moverán” | Lost in the Lens (Ep. 1)

Exploring No Nos Moverán with Director Pierre St. Martin | Lost in the Lens (Ep. 1)

Join host Vega Montañez for the inaugural episode of "Lost in the Lens" as she sits down with writer, director, and producer Pierre St. Martin to explore his thought-provoking film, No Nos Moverán (We Shall Not Be Moved).

Pierre details the challenging, yet essential, decision to film the entire movie in Spanish and why he chose a striking black and white aesthetic—explaining how it reflects the main character Socorro's obsession with the past. He offers a fascinating, deep dive into the seven-month-long process of creating the film's submersive sound design, using instruments like the cello to convey the motion of a taxi and the sound of the main character's partial deafness.

The conversation goes beyond the technical craft to unpack the film's core humanistic message: the struggle for forgiveness and the need to understand "the otherness," even those who have caused harm. Pierre discusses how this theme is woven into the tense, yet loving, relationship between the two sisters at the heart of the story and shares what it was like working with the legendary actress Luisa Huertas.
