Austrian premiere
35 years after the Chilean military dictatorship the writings of a relegate are laid over archive footage of Patagonia. Water and resistance sway in the time capsule we call a diary. It takes us to a distant place that only slowly draws closer to the author. CUADERNO DE AGUA immerses viewers in ethnographic material that enables new meanings through its distortion.
