Proyecto Tierras

A young architect, struggling to complete a high-profile project in the sterile, modern landscape of Santiago, finds his life unraveling. He becomes increasingly obsessed with the desolate, rural lands outside the city, seeking solace and inspiration in their raw, untamed beauty. His personal and professional worlds begin to collide as he grapples with environmental concerns and his own internal conflicts.

Proyecto Tierras received a generally positive reception from critics, who praised its contemplative pace, striking visuals, and nuanced exploration of contemporary Chilean society and environmental themes. Audience reactions were more divided, with some appreciating its artistic merit and others finding its deliberate pacing challenging.

• Praised for its atmospheric cinematography and thoughtful direction.

• Applauded for its subtle commentary on urban development and environmental displacement.

• Some found the narrative slow-moving, preferring a more conventional plot structure.
