Nomadic Residency | Michael S. Bekele

HOW TO EAT A MOUNTAIN

The screenplay Imagine a Place, written as a contribution to A Nomadic Book, becomes the starting point for exploring the connections between inner and outer landscapes and the boundaries between dreamt, remembered and lived terrains, both physical and those evoked through music. Accompanied by cinematographer Amanda Muisyo, Bekele traversed the Alta Via Dolomiti 1 trail, collecting images and sounds for his upcoming short film How to Eat a Mountain. The film investigates the exuberance of internal and external landscapes and seeks to capture the music contained within pulsating, vibrant bodies.
