Global Tides

Global Tides is an international, interdisciplinary collaboration that incorporates film, music and dance. This short 7 minute film depicts two opposing life settings and forces:

On the one hand a fast-paced metropolis where an incessant flood of irritations lead to alienation from oneself and to a loss of creative inspiration, and on the other hand a beach by the ocean, where self-awareness, creativity and a sense of well-being thrive within the quiet peace of nature's rhythms.
