Tongues of the Earth is a long form cultural film shaped by worldviews in which the Earth is understood as alive, and land speaks through the people who listen to it.

The film unfolds across two distant yet connected geographies, the Andes of Perú and the island of Socotra. Though separated by oceans, both places are guided by ancestral relationships to land, language, and survival. In these environments, language is not only communication but memory, carried through breath, ritual, gesture, and daily life.

Rather than presenting Perú and Socotra as destinations, the film approaches them as living teachers. Meaning emerges through presence, patience, and shared time. The camera moves slowly, guided by relationship rather than spectacle, allowing landscapes and voices to reveal themselves on their own terms.

Tongues of the Earth is not concerned with preserving language as artifact, but with honoring it as a living force that continues to shape identity, belonging, and how communities understand their place within the world.

This film is built through trust, collaboration, and listening, grounded in the understanding that some stories are not taken from the Earth, but received from it.
