Silence of the tides

Silence of the Tides is a film that breathes in and out with the tides of the International World Heritage Site, one of the largest contiguous wetlands in the world, as it explores the fragile relationship between humans and nature. A hypnotic look at the cycles and contrasts of the seasons: life and death, storm and stillness, the masses and the individual. A poetic contemplation without voice-overs or interviews against an overwhelming backdrop of sky, water, clouds, wind, fog and constantly changing light.

Breathing

Silence of the Tides is a film that breathes. The Wadden as one big, living, breathing organism. Breathing vital to the unique qualities of the Wadden Sea. For flora, fauna and for humans. A film that makes the awareness of oxygen almost tangible.
