An avant-garde take on the concept of 'slow TV', THE NEW STONE AGE explores profoundly ancient spaces that are seldom seen - megalithic dolmens and passage graves across the Iberian Peninsula. With camerawork that employs an experiential, first-person perspective closely connected to the human body, the hour-long film offers viewers a real-time, subjective, and fluid experience inside of and around the mysterious stone temples built by Neolithic people nearly 10,000 years ago. More than two-dozen Megaliths are pictured in a variety of surroundings, from remote numinous landscapes to urban tenement spaces, and in every setting their presence transmits a cryptic immutability that causes us to wonder if they are relics of the past, or portents of the future.
