Is this what we are? (Out of time) empty diaries, nothing more than an instant in the sea of ​​energy traveling towards a black hole. There is no harmony with nature but there is no separation from nature either. Life runs through your veins at an accelerated pace. Nature is controlling at this moment, your heart rate, the amplitude of your lungs, it is directing and verifying every small detail of the synapses of your nerve cells, it is elaborating the hot semen so that you give more life. All that we are is life seeking itself, creating forms

Experimental film on the motifs of natura and image effects.

Short experimental film by Ernesto Baca

During the last military dictatorship, the secondary school sank into a fog of silences and complicities; and in that fog, the collective dream of many students was also lost. 1978, the perfect reminder of high school is the gymnastics playground and the Physical Education teacher. The Green Team was formed with those of us who didn't make the normal teams: Cristina, Elvira and myself. We were the first litter of young people without collective projects that followed the genocide, the design teens that the military longed for. Do we belong to a generation? Or did we just come later?

In a world where technological progress is conceived as an arrow pointing forward, why do some people insist on continuing to work with equipment others refer to as obsolete? Analog Thinking answers that question by documenting the meticulous work of those who choose that path. The screen becomes filled with wonderful objects—optical toys, cameras, projectors, film stock cans, moviolas… And the testimonies from those creators invite us to discover a universe that has a lot to do with both craftsmanship and the collective experience—an instance of thinking with your hands that is only possible with curiosity and patience. And among the words, practices and artifacts, Analog Thinking also saves a place for the images that are born from all of that. And it reminds us that, even in this digital age, they still have a lot to teach us about waiting and making mistakes, surprise and beauty.
