Burial: Subterranean Light is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the unexpected and almost mystical relationship between film and memory. Set in the eerie backdrop of southern Chile's forests, the discovery of buried film reels adds a layer of haunting curiosity. When unearthed, the films reveal spectral images that connect back to Niles Atallah's earlier works, 'Lucia' and 'Rey'. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and the unsettling notion of ghostly presences lingering in decaying celluloid. It challenges how we perceive cinematic history and the remnants of stories left behind. It's a slow burn, relying heavily on visuals and sound to create an otherworldly experience that lingers long after viewing.
