ARCHEOLOGY OF LIGHT
Canada 2024 – Director: Sylvain L'Esperance – Original language: Silent – Subtitles: None – Length: 71 min.
Water that snakes between the rocks, light that falls through a canopy of leaves, a moss-covered forest floor, the reflection of the sun on the ocean, the dance of the Northern Lights on a starry night, the movement of the air and the winds, clouds that presage a storm. Everything is light. Everything is perception. An immersive film experience that will really slow you down. Moni Haas
