REALISATEUR:
Frauke Sandig, Eric BlackThe great cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar will end on December 21st, 2012. How will history finish? Will the earth swallow up the oceans? Will fire devour the sky? Now that men have forgotten how to be in harmony with nature, Heart of Sky – Heart of Earth presents another vision of the world – that of six young Maya involved in their daily lives and ritual ceremonies – revealing their determination to resist the destruction of their culture and environment. Magnificently filmed, the protagonists’ experiences and intimate beliefs delicately echo nature’s fragile beauty. Directors Frauke Sandig and Eric Black contrast these indigenous people’s beliefs with the short-sighted exploitation of the earth. |
