ALTIPLANO

Year2018 Duration16 min. DirectorMalena Szlam

Filmed in the Andean Mountains in the traditional lands of the Atacameño, Aymara and Calchaquí-Diaguita in Chile and Argentina, ALTIPLANO takes place within a geological universe of ancestral salt flats, volcanic deserts and coloured lakes. Coupled with a natural soundscape generated from infrasound recordings of volcanoes, geysers, blue whales and more, ALTIPLANO reveals an ancient land standing witness to all that is, was and will be.
