Abstract

29° S, 71°W documents the filmmaker's 2018 journey to Totoralillo Norte, Chile to witness a solar eclipse. Similar to the ways a solar eclipse highlights the connections that exist between the sun, the moon, the earth, and human perception, this film considers the history of this typically tranquil coast that became the site of pilgrimage for thousands of tourists from all over the world who gathered to witness a twenty-minute astronomical event.
