Membran

About This Movie

So, Membran is this fascinating documentary where sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard really dives deep into the strange, almost eerie soundscape along the US-Mexico border. He travels from El Paso to Tijuana, interacting with this massive wall—think of it as a metallic entity that hums and resonates. The film’s pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative, allowing you to let the ambient sounds wash over you. The visuals are stark, capturing the desolation and beauty of the landscape. Kirkegaard’s exploration of sound as a medium for connection and division is intriguing. There's something haunting about how the wall, instead of being just a barrier, becomes this living, breathing presence. It's distinctive in how it blends art and documentary, really.
