Aqueronte
Aqueronte summons the very essence of cinema to transport us to unreal spaces.
26'
Spain
IFFR 2023
A naked musician in search of inspiration. A museum depot where paintings and sculptures lie hidden away from our gaze. An appealing tune rising from an old armonica… What at first seems an absurd and enigmatic performance little by little becomes a voyage into a troubling European mythology that has the shape of ancient landscapes and mystic figures. With subtle irony, Assaf Gruber invites us to question our perception of art and entertainment.
