Aqueronte

In Greek mythology, Acheron is the name given to one of the rivers in the Underworld. Except for ancient heroes and goddesses, no living creature has ever crossed it. With this myth in mind, Manuel Muñoz Rivas turns the daily passage of a ferry on a Spanish river into a ritual crossing of sacred beauty, as the passengers’ souls wander through suspended narrations of everyday life. Conversations, faces and laughter forge an atmosphere with an enveloping visual style. AQUERONTE is a unique gem that splits open the idea of the documentary to create a lively performance where different ideas of passages find common ground. (Rebecca De Pas)
