Experiencing Interruptions?

ANTARCTICA, THE LAST HOPE

Short documentary whose narrative is experiential rather than informative or journalistic. It aims to stir Antartica to those who see the film, from the experience of the filmmaker, with the aim of transferring to them the emotional experience of that of being in Antartica, hoping to sensitize, stir and commit to Antarctic conservation. It is both an artistic essay, in which image / narrative and music are fully synchronous, producing a rare audiovisual work in its result.
