DIRECTOR COMMENTS
“The Birth of “The Inner Valley came through the search of certain existential questions and inner silences that are part of life. The story talks about a mother, talks about nature, fertility and the conflict between life and death”
“We searched for a primitive man and contemporary man, I wanted to work with a non actor, a character that worked and lived in the island. We were lucky to discover Geronimo, he is a man full of wisdom. We lived with him without electricity and some days we slept under the stars, we had to learn to be respectful, and we enjoyed the quietness and simple beauty of nature. We shot in 16mm with available light most of the time. We learned to Geronimo´s life and the vast world surrounding him. We hope that the film captures the amazing experience that we had in the island” Alejandro Tarraf, Writer and Director.
THE CHARACTER AND CONFLICTS TODAY:
Geronimo is 48 years old, he lives and works with “Junco” to survive.
The Location is the Delta of San Fernando Island, province of Buenos Aires.
Geronimo Gadea lives in the Anguilas River, a small community of island workers
and fishermen. During the last three years, these people have been isolated and threatened, properties have been lost and burned, and some private institutions are trying to build a community for rich people in the area. Just few people are still strong enough to face them.
