'El Mar, Mi Alma' is a 16mm cultural surf film experience through Chile.
With a long and diverse coastline Chile is a country not only shaped by its geography; the sea occupies a mystical and poetic, conscious and unconcious place within the cultural fabric of the nation.
The film is a visual tone poem, a blend of images and music consisting of cinematic surfing sequences intercut with coastal landscapes, insightful commentary and poetry, and the movements of the cast on a surfing journey.
From the backdrop of an environmental campaign, with environmental themes and political undercurrent, the film paints a picture of Chile's beauty and association with the sea, centred around the affectionate and intimate act of surfing.
