SILENCIO EN LA TIERRA DE LOS SUEÑOS

SILENCE IN DREAMLAND
by Tito Molina
Country: Ecuador
Year: 2013
Duration: 94'


An elderly woman lives alone. A black head dog keeps her company and watches over the house and the repetitive movements of the woman. Every so often, she and the dog go out for long walks along the beach. Her pace is slow, each walk is a new beginning, and each homecoming is a confirmation of a life that has been lived.

Declaration

film director

“As the poem reader, the audience of a movie is transported to a world beyond the means of the message; the words in the case of the poem, and the images and sound in the case of movies. The story projected inside the audience is not the same projected in the screen; it is born there, but ends up in a special and distant place. The world the audience discovers behind a movie cannot be described with words. It is an inexpressible place and the experience lived there is equally impossible to transmit, just like with the poem. In that interior place the story is told through silence and images that go beyond reality and open the door to a dream world, a place we could call the land of dreams.”
