ONE WORLD | The End of Quiet
(Danemark, Suède)De Kasper Bisgaard, Mikael Lypinski
Screening as part of the ONE WORLD festival
The residents of Green Bank, West Virginia, must live without Wi-Fi or mobile phones. Since the 1950s, a giant telescope has stood here, monitoring signals from outer space that must remain undisturbed.
The surrounding "Quiet Zone" spans over 35,000 km², keeping technology frozen in the 1990s. This vibrant rural microcosm offers fascinating stories, from a man in an alternative reality to a woman suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. This visually captivating film is a poignant probe into the heart of contemporary America, where people grapple with loneliness and alienation in stark contrast to the hyper-modern technology that remains beyond their reach.
