Synopsis Memories of Stone Faces is a short essay piece which develops a poetic reflection around the issues of water exploitation and rock mining in the Swiss Alps. By juxtaposing contemporary images to archives, and by proposing a storytelling mix of documentary and fictional elements, the work is an invitation to engage with the geological and human memories that shape and haunt current extractive environments.
Director’s bio-filmography Andrea Bordoli’s (1990) research and practice lies at the intersection between anthropological theory, film and visual art.
