Red Moon Tide

When a famed fisherman vanishes, the townsfolk of a Galician seaside village become catatonic. Composed mostly in lengthy static shots of single characters staring into the abyss, the film depicts their whispering voice-overs alternately blaming the disappearance on witches, a local sea monster and finally, shrouded apparitions. Could this be an apocalyptic curse, or a portent of environmental disaster? Director Lois Patiño casts a spell with oceanic sound design and mythic landscape.
