Cemetery (2019)
Sinhalese and English | HD Video | Colour and Sound | 85 min

Carlos Casas’ Cemetery begins as the endangered elephant Nga and his mahout Sanra prepare for their last journey, soon to be tracked by poachers possessed by fables about a mythical elephant graveyard. As the poachers die mysteriously, one after another, the adventure film unfolds into a spacious cinematic experiment, carrying viewers to the ancient animal’s demise and far beyond. With the film’s allegorical passage through the stages of death, the indexical images are gradually subsumed by a rich sonic journey.
