Twenty-two-year-old Antonio J. Busto Algarin made The Day I Killed My Best Friend at Middlesex University in London:
Regla is a nine-year-old girl, whose only friend is imaginary. Regla hates bath time and always has to be ordered to do it. However, she usually gets rid of her bath water without her mother knowing. One day Regla and her indulgent imaginary friend are forced to confront the sudden arrival of her first menstruation and the problems that come with it.
The sexually charged film has the kind of youthful energy and playful experimentation with form and technique that can make watching student films such an enjoyable experience. Even if all the pieces don’t quite fit together, Busto’s campy aesthetic is something fresh and different. Since making the film, Busto has launched an animation collective with other colleagues called Rabano. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.
