Ashes and Snow poster

Overview

Ashes and Snow, a film by Gregory Colbert, uses both still and movie cameras to explore extraordinary interactions between humans and animals. The 60-minute feature is a poetic narrative rather than a documentary. It aims to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species, dissolving the distance that exists between them.

00:00:42 If you come to me at this moment
00:11:14 I dissapeared exactly one year ago
00:11:40 It marks the first of my three hundred and sixty five letters to you
00:15:10 You will remember everything All will be as before
00:15:45 You are looking into the unblinking eyes of elephants, who sleep with one eye open
00:20:26 I saw promises I did not keep
00:20:43 Prayers I did not answer
00:21:11 I saw the letters I wished for, but never received
00:24:27 These letters are my letters to you
00:28:48 The bark of the zebra
00:29:08 And the silhouette of the eland

00:31:06 remember your dreams
00:32:10 they remind me of who I am
00:35:57 I long for the serenity I found when I looked upon your face
