Field & Screen: It's the Earth Not the Moon
| Event: |
Field & Screen: It's the Earth Not the Moon Director Gonalo Tocha begins this film with a self-directed challenge. As he approaches the remote Azorean island of CorvoEuropes western-most pointTocha all but dares himself to document every square inch of it. And document he does. Shot over the span of several yearsduring which Tocha self-produced the film between arrivals and departuresIts the Earth Not the Moon examines this isolated, barely accessible spot of land with an anthropologists curiosity. Using a handheld technique to absorbing effect, Tocha balances Corvos otherworldly landscapes with the everyday activities of its inhabitants, creating a part-anthropological, part-aesthetic conversation about travel, accessibility, and the collision of traditional life with the growing presence of modernity.
