The Change of Tide

USA / CHILE • 2019 

In April 2019, together with Chilean outdoor clothing brand Haka Honu, we toured the waters and lands of western Patagonia. We were in the latitudes that previously belonged to the indigenous Chonos people, a magical land full of surprises. Haka Honu and their pro surfers went in search of waves and new adventures. We went there to study those distant waters, for human footprints. Change of the Tide is a multidisciplinary journey that combines science, sport and also art.

En abril de 2019 junto a la marca de ropa outdoor Haka Honu recorrimos las aguas y tierras de la Patagonia occidental. Estuvimos en esas latitudes que antes pertenecían a los Chonos, una tierra mágica y llena de sorpresas. Haka Honu y sus surfistas profesionales fueron en busca de olas y nuevas aventuras. Nosotros fuimos a estudiar la huella de la sociedad moderna en esas aguas lejanas. Cambio de la Marea es un viaje multidisciplinario que combina la ciencia, el deporte y también el arte.

Eating Up Easter

Chile/USA | 2018 | 76 mins

Native Rapanui (Easter Island) filmmaker Sergio Mata’u Rapu narrates to his son the modern dilemma of their people who risk losing everything to the globalizing effects of tourism.

The film follows four islanders, descendants of the ancient Moia statue builders of Easter Island, who are working to tackle the consequences of their rapidly developing home. Mama Piru leads recycling efforts to reduce trash, Mahani and Enrique use music to reunite their divided community, and Sergio tries to understand the motivations of his father who embraces the advantages of building new businesses. These stories intertwine to reveal the complexities of development and the contradictions within us all as we are faced with hard choices about our planet’s future.
