Roraima 1978

Overview

A human presence breaks the primordial solitude of a tepui. Filmed during an expedition led by explorer Dr. Charles Brewer-Carías to Mount Roraima — the plateau located at the tri-border of Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil — this short experimental film reflects on the encounter between humans and one of the most remote landscapes on Earth. The film also stands as a technical and poetic gesture: bringing the Super-8 camera to such an unlikely and inaccessible place.
