Official opening – Silence of the Tides

De Kroon presents the Wadden region as one massive, breathing organism, where all the elements interlock, influenced by the position of the moon and sun, and the magical energy from the cosmos. Silence of The Tides is a cinematic tribute to the world’s largest, and most varied, uninterrupted intertidal area, extending along the coasts of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. It is a film that inhales and exhales along with the tides of the World Heritage, while exploring the fragile relationship between man and nature. It’s a hypnotizing large screen look into the cycles and contrasts of the seasons: life and death, storm and silence, the masses and the individual. A poetic contemplation without voice-overs or interviews, against a larger than life backdrop of sky, water, wind, mist and constantly changing light.
