Silencio (Proof of Concept) (2019)

Synopsis

Inspired by the philosophical musings of Terrence Malick and Ron Fricke, this film serves as a profound testament to the interconnectedness of land and life, exploring the infinite cycles that govern our existence. Much like Fricke's Samsara, the narrative delves into the ebb and flow of nature, observing the beauty of the natural world with the consequences of human actions. The film invites viewers to reflect on our place within these cycles, highlighting moments of harmony and disarray as communities adapt to the changing tides of existence. Through this lens, the work raises crucial questions about sustainability, identity, and the future of youth culture in a rapidly evolving world, ultimately urging a contemplative dialogue on our shared responsibilities towards both the environment and one another.
