Composition
Pedro Tomás Explains the World
Pedro Tomás, an inhabitant of the Canary Island of La Palma, sees the world differently from most people—as a result, he can sometimes be misunderstood. In this short film, beauty and pain can be found close together.
Blue Silence
In 1965, one of the worst shipwrecks in Chilean history took place. With mesmerizing analog images, this short film explores the memories of the inhabitants of this remote corner of Chile’s lake district.
An Open Field
Teboho Edkins and his father visit the site in Ethiopia where his brother died in a plane crash in 2019. There, they encounter a community still deep in grief, tenderly cherishing the memory of the victims.
