AQUA MATER STUDIO
is an experimental documentary film studio founded byFrancesco Majo & Nataly Cadavid.
We develop long-term experimental documentary projects exploring consciousness, memory, water and the invisible connections between human beings and nature.
Our films have been awarded at international film festivals and are developed through a process of deep research, listening and visual integrity.
Our approach
We work at the crossroads of:
• documentary cinema
• scientific research
• human testimony
• poetic visual language
Our films are not explanatory.
They are experiential.
We collaborate with cultural institutions, foundations, researchers and independent producers.
Contact us for partnerships, screenings and co-productions.
