Open-Pit

Open-Pit (Spanish: Cielo abierto) is a 2023 Peruvian-French[1] experimental docudrama film[2] directed, written, co-produced and co-edited by Felipe Esparza Pérez in his directorial debut.

[4] A Peruvian father labours patiently, chipping at the white volcanic stone that forms an extraordinary landscape.

His son is part of the modern world: he uses cameras and drones in order to create the digital model of a church on a computer.

Separated by the mysterious death of the wife/mother figure in the family, these men do not connect.

And yet their paths cross in a ghostly manner, as do their professions: each in their own way works with textures and volumes, sensations and perceptions.
