Description
Combining home movies, 16mm footage, audiotape, and an original score, Gallisá Muriente’s poetic excavation oscillates between chronicle, dream, and document. Where people and nature meet, she uncovers environmental and colonial memories from her grandmother’s past and in the landscape of Puerto Rico.

Here, Here
When Koi returns to his home with an ear infection, he finds the town in slow decay as mining devastates the once abundant landscape. He and his mother await his father’s return, but with each fresh wound to the land, his malady worsens.
(Joanne Cesario, Philippines 2020, 19 min)
