Interior

 

Mariana Bártolo
Portugal, Allemagne / 2017 / 0:29:54


"Interior" departs from the creation of ‘cameras obscuras’ in homes of people who have scarce contacts with the outside world. This intervention creates an environment that alternates between moments of silence, contemplation and conversation, sharing the magical secret of this unexpected but natural phenomenon.

"Whale Beards" speaks about myths and memories from a small village on the Atlantic coast. In old family tales a theme appears again and again: the mysterious gift of finding water on dry land. Shot on analogue film, this short traces an old and almost lost tradition.
