film director
“In 2017, the Azure Window, a natural limestone monument famous in Malta and beyond, collapsed into the sea. One year later, Maltese authorities impounded the Aquarius, a migrant rescue ship, and arrested its captain. Between these events a group of Maltese youth met recently arrived refugees. In the film, a parallel narrative blends the product of these meetings with an investigation of the island’s ever-present limestone. Geological exploration finds its equivalent in an archeological approach to media from which convergences in history and memory emerge, uncovering a common metaphysical essence beneath the island’s porous surface.”
