arsenal distribution is releasing EL MAR LA MAR by Joshua Bonnetta and J.P. Sniadecki from June 7, accompanied by the Caligari Award tour. The film, a cinematographic exploration of the Sonora desert between Mexico and the United States, premiered as part of the 2017 Forum, where it received the Caligari Award. It masterfully weaves together 16 mm shots of nature and weather phenomena, animals, people and the tracks they leave behind with a polyphonic soundtrack, creating a multi-faceted panorama of a highly politicised stretch of land, a film poem that conjures up the ocean.
