Nunca Máis is an account - through images and sensations - of the accident involving the Prestige, the petrol tanker which sank near the coasts of Galicia on the 13th of November 2002, with the leakage of 125 tonnes per day of heavy oil. A catastrophe which has irretrievably jeopardized both the Galician economy (which depends upon fishing) and the entire ecosystem. A “black tide” which has invaded over 600km of the coasts and which continues to make useless any attempts to cleanse the area: up until the year 2006 there will be a continuous leakage of huge quantities of heavy oil, from the wreckage of the Prestige, with a rhythm of roughly a litre and a half per second. The images follow the black tide and the work of the volunteers, across a montage which tends to stress the absurdity and vastness of that which has appropriately been described as “the sea Chernobyl”, through the alternation of surreal moments and interviews of the locals and of environmental experts (longer version). The images and the montage come about and develop together with the soundtrack, which was specifically composed by the florentine musicians Ether - winners of the 2002 Electro Wave of the Arezzo Wave Festival - with the collaboration of Alberto Favilli. |
