[ Lapso ] una espera
Experimental documentary short film
Synopsis: In a place where darkness prevails, a group of people prepares their equipment. They observe, they investigate outer space in search of something. A delayed search, with no specific goal, which doesn’t lead to any finding and distorts itself until becoming ghostly.

Interview about "Lapso, una espera"
Recommendation of "Lapso, una espera"
Statement
Try to avoid, at least for a period of time, the vertiginous rhythms to which we are accustomed and currently demanded.
Pause the invasive daily life, which does not let us see the lights of darkness, nor does it stop listening to the sounds of silence, nor does it stop thinking.
Immerse yourself in that timeless, unknown, mysterious space-time, where darkness and silence reveal themselves from this hybrid documentary-fiction, which challenges the dominant audiovisual by its formality.
