A seismic silence
Julián Galay
Arg. 2023. 19′



For geology, seismic silence determines the time between two earthquakes: the longer the silence, the more powerful the next tremor is expected to be. This film remains in that interval, between dream and reality. A series of personal diaries intersects with those of a 20th century German physicist. Between Berlin and Buenos Aires, an overlapping of times and spaces is established; a collaboration with the dead ones.
