An actress playing herself visits the Azores for a theater role, finding locals who mirror Shakespeare’s characters. Reality and fantasy merge as the film explores connections between life, art and imagination.

Who is Sycorax? The first of all characters in William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” to set foot on the island of the play. The problem is that Sycorax has no voice. She is barely mentioned by Prospero as a crooked, old, wicked witch who vilely locked Ariel, the spirit of the air, in a tree.

The post Lois Patiño & Matías Piñeiro – Sycorax (2021) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Costa da Morte is a region in Galicia (Spain), which was considered as the end of the world during the Roman period. Its dramatic name comes from the numerous shipwrecks that happened along history in this area made of rocks, mist and storms. We cross this land observing the people who inhabit it, fishermen, gatherers of shellfish, loggers… We witness traditional craftsmen who maintain both an intimate relationship and an antagonistic battle with the vastness of this territory. The wind, the stones, the sea, the fire, are characters in this film, and through them we approach the mystery of the landscape, understanding it as a unified ensemble with man, his history and legends.

Quote:
In a village on the Galician coast, life has slowed to a crawl. All that moves is the light over the bay, the swell around the shore, the fronds of weed swirled along by the river, the animals that now wander unheeded through the dark houses. Their inhabitants stand motionless, each trapped in a different stance, on the mudflats, in the streets, by the dam, next to the mysterious rock whose form is that of the wave that sank Rubio’s boat and pulled the fisherman under, thus ushering in the curse. They speak in voiceover and their accounts overlap, their words revolve more around their own predicament than telling a linear story, they keep talking of Rubio, of past warnings, of the red moon, the beast, the sea. Even if everything still looks like today, they say a thousand years have already passed. But movement is coming, three witches have come down from the mountain, soggy footsteps can be heard on the soundtrack, pressure builds behind the dam and scales shimmer in the depths. As the old map which opens the film suggests, magical tales of treacherous waters, drowned sailors and monsters from the deep stretch far back into history but how do such tales end in the present day?

Quote:
In the Moroccan desert night dilutes forms and silence slides through sand. Dawn starts then to draw silhouettes of dunes while motionless figures punctuate landscape. From night´s abstraction, light returns its dimension to space and their volume to bodies. Stillness concentrates gaze and duration densify it. The adhan -muslim call to pray- sounds and immobility, that was condensing, begins to irradiate. And now the bodies are those which dissolves into the desert.

Quote:
Three figures appear from the Moroccan desert’s gloom. Dawn lends volume to abstract silhouettes of dunes and people as the silence is broken by fajr, a word that has a double meaning in Arabic: beginning and the pre-sunrise call to prayer. Akin to the latter that breaks the daily rhythm, the mythical desert becomes a contemplative place.

Quote:
A 12-minute work of a hypnotic, immense heart, and a mesmerizing exercise in beauty that inebriates the transition –or, better yet, the suspended time– from night to dawn in the desert, the scenery of the purification of spirits and the vertical lengthening of the poetic of spaces. Two human figures rise up hieratically in a Moroccan sea of sand and silence. And even if that tour de force with meditation and vertigo will be weakened by the fajr (which means “dawn” as well as “the Muslim canticle that calls for prayer,” the only sound that fragments that of the wind in the film), I can’t help but link this borderless place in Fajr, of the figures in consumption, to another recent mimesis of spiritual beings with the space they dwell in: that of Scorsese’s Silence. There, they were present in a Catholic, narrative key, but absolutely not far from the evanescence in the air and the dreams of this work by Lois Patiño, finally water and sleep in a beautiful, dreamlike transit that the desert reverses upon its nemesis. — José Luis Losa

Quote:
An instant in the memory of landscape: the smuggling that for centuries crossed the line between Portugal and Galicia. The Gerês Mountains knows no borders, and rocks cross from one country to another with insolence. Smugglers also disobey this separation. The rocks, the river, the trees: silent witnesses, help them to hide. They just have to wait for the night to cross the distance that separates them.
