Meritxell Colell Aparicio, Blends 4K Digital, Super16mm Film, and Archival Footage to Explore the Textures of Memory

The film follows a Mexican sound artist and her assistant-guide as they travel through the Peruvian Amazon, recording nature and indigenous languages. These sounds and languages trigger idyllic childhood recollections, placing past and present in constant dialogue as the protagonist confronts family trauma. The result is a handsome reverie of physical and mental meanderings, richly capturing the emotional weight of memory through its varied visual textures. Colell Aparicio's work stands as a beautifully crafted meditation on how language and sound shape our recollections of home and history.
