ALEXA 35 Encounters – “An Ancestral Path”

"The sensor of the ALEXA 35 is something else, both strong and gentle in the perception of color and texture."
- DP Bárbara Alvarez, Uruguay

Shot with ALEXA 35, the K445 Default ARRI Texture, ARRI Signature Prime and ARRI Signature Zoom lenses.

“An Ancestral Path” is one of the short films in the “Encounters” series commissioned by ARRI for the launch of the ALEXA 35. Eleven filmmakers from around the world were given the same brief: to develop and shoot a short script based on an encounter, of any kind. Each film managed to push the ALEXA 35 in a unique way; the resulting images are incredibly varied, but universally cinematic.
