Go Burning Atacama Go is a reflection on the concept of memory and time after the violent departure of a friend. Denied images that travel in a lyrical and gaseous state of perception, through the elaboration of the cinematographic mistake. A film about ecstatic transparency as a way to go through this pain. Something I like to define as cinema-therapy
