Avalanche. Music performed live by The Nelly Boyd Ensemble. Barcelona visual artist Carlos Casas and American sound artist and minimalist legend Phill Niblock present a joint project based on images taken in Hichigh, one of the world's highest inhabitated villages in the Pamir mountains (Tajikistan), known as the roof of the world. An audiovisual meditation on disappearance, Avalanche is a research on the relationship between film, music and landscape, a physical as well as a mental experience, transporting the spectator into a state of flotation. One of the most unknown mountain ranges, the Pamirs are as mysterious as fascinating, home of amazing and well kept traditions. The film follows the dusk of a village bound to disappear, just before it becomes a ghost village, just before its stones and mud houses become part of the mountain again.
