Hi there.
My name is Enrique Pacheco, I`m a spanish filmmaker that Joining Kristinn R. Ólafsson and Alda Ólafsson released Vatn, a visual narrative in environmental film about water in Iceland.
However, instead of focusing the viewer on the antagonist – the human industry – I choose to portray the situation in a different way. In Vatn, you will see no factories or industries. Instead, you will see the beauty of water, and its full expression. You will also hear the voice of water, as the protagonist in this situation. I hope that by considering water as a living being, we will grow in our passion for protecting what is truly important.
I invite you to watch the short film at my website, and please feel free to share it at your blog if you liked it.
I will be more than happy to answer any question you may have about it.
Vatn

I look forward to hearing your comments!
Thanks.
Enrique.
