OPIS
OPIS
The film presents an imaginative time-space around the year 2857 - when the world will be inhabited by human beings, but in a radically synthesised form represented by electromagnetic waves, perceived by us - modern people - as sounds with specific frequencies. The pictures for the film were taken over the course of several years, during trips to various mountain regions, in order to document the space and environments unfavourable to the existence of the “traditional” forms of life of human beings. This austere and sometimes theatrical scenery aims to create a mystical atmosphere, as if it was out of this world.
