VRINDAVANA

Vrindavana is a little town in the north of India. But Vrindavana is also a state of mind, a dimension of love and brotherhood. On a film where audiovisual perception prevails through a sensorial narrative, Ernesto Baca makes a journey that is more spiritual than physical. The film is understood as a mental state, the images open a door to the unknown, and the audio is a bridge that leads us to some other place.

Ernesto Baca was born in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires, in 1969. He studied Film Direction and Video Production at the CIEVYC.
