fig. 1 filmstill SILENT PINES


SILENT PINES explores what remains after a major fire. The camera follows a person walking through the burnt and silent forest—an attempt to engage with and to become aware of an event of destruction.

The one-take sequence was filmed in July 2019 near Sertã, Portugal, just days after a forest fire. Within four days, approximately 8,500 hectares of land were consumed by the flames, which spread across 25 km.

Many thanks to Anna and Alex, whose support made this video possible!
