THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME

a meditation on the eternal dance of disappearance and becoming, on hope and that which survives beyond what we call death.

*

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME is a testament to the cyclical dance of life – of disappearance and becoming. Death giving way to birth, life and death intertwined.

The film speaks of the quiet resilience of the earth and our role as stewards of her future; the threads of her history woven into our very being and our story profoundly connected with her. Each grain of dust, each drop of water, telling a story of loss and rebirth, echoing the human experience.

Landscapes that once seemed eternal, fading, disappearing, with ever increasing speed, due to climate change and human impact. Glaciers melting. Their presence witness to an ancient time’s passage

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME is an invitation to embrace our place within the timeless dance of life, echoing the truth that in every ending lies the promise of a new beginning.

Ultimately, it is a meditation on hope and that which survives beyond what we call death.
