Bloom
An exploration of the phantom island San Borondón, taking us above the earth and underwater.

Spain
IFFR 2023
An invented mythology to revive the two dead volcanoes discovered in the Waddenzee. Instead of analysing these discoveries for their extractive potential, the filmmakers conjure a false oral tradition, a kind of faux-folklore striving to rekindle us to this land and to honour these geological giants. Can we develop a relationship with this earth that isn't only extractive? Can we express love for land without exploiting it?
