Luminum

Along the Paraná river, in Eastern Argentina, Silvia and her daughter Andrea have dedicated their lives to UFOlogy, looking for evidence of what they already consider to be a certainty, the presence of aliens in the area. With a marked human component and the savoir faire of someone who has completed notable work in recent years, Maximiliano Schonfeld captures, without a hint of condescension, the earthly dedication of these two women orientated towards the unknown. Home recordings, a remarkable soundtrack and night-time photography by the filmmaker himself shape this gentle and warm depiction, which plays with the styles of science fiction to delve into what is right beside us.
