Shadowland

2017 · 47 min

A hushed, contemplative collage of sky-watchers and fogbound instruments, drifting patiently through cosmic waiting with little narrative hand-holding.

Directed by
Lukas Marxt, Vanja Smiljanić
Genres
Documentary
Overview
Around the solar eclipse of March 20, 2015, Marxt and Smiljanic arrange their own turned and extraneous material into a small catalog of cosmic visions: Eclipse hunters put themselves and their vision devices in position; A space-weather fairy analyzes the recent solar storms; A radar early warning station also waits for signals from above, while the thick fog blocks the view forward.
