Terraforming

director: Ricardo Moreira
original title: Terraformar
country: Portugal
year: 2020
running time: 11 min.

synopsis

An experimental meditation in three chapters showing the transition from human creation to nature. Moreira shows a sensory audiovisual landscape that speaks without words. Cars on the roads transform into teeming lights and colors that look like organisms under a microscope. The city gives way to the forest, the landscape, the universe, becoming a body with its own rhythm, language and shape. The asynchronous soundtrack gives the impression of the presence of a parallel world where light has its sound, nature its music and the universe its voice. It is a world where the boundaries between the concrete and the abstract are blurred and the micro-world merges with the macro-world.
