THE NEW RUINS

Director Manuel Embalse

Produced by Joaquín Maito

Logline

In a multifaceted diary, an amateur archaeologist interrogates reality with his camera, as if excavating it pixel by pixel.

storyline

Las ruinas nuevas is an experimental essay that takes the form of a diary of archaeological notes to question the current state of the relationship between electronic waste and historical memory. If obsolete technology becomes a lost hieroglyph that has to be deciphered... how will the history of the future be written?
