Cielo

Directed by Alison McAlpine
Canada / Chile, 2017 (documentary, 78 minutes, colour, English / French / Spanish)
Also known as "Ouranos", "Tähistaevas"

Film Description:
"In Chile's Atacama Desert, there are seemingly as many planet-hunters and scientists using its high-tech observatories as there are locals whose stories and legends are nourished by the magnificent, star-encrusted night sky. For her first feature, Alison McAlpine turns that natural beauty into a mesmerizing, spectacular film steeped in poetry. From our seats we can almost touch the vastness and mystery of the cosmos."
-- Québec Cinéma (source)
