Schlafsand (the sand that makes us sleep) is here our refutation of the existential threat linked to human induced climate change. Shot in Switzerland, a land famous for its breathtaking mountain landscapes and its comfortable living standards, the film investigates the visual evidence of this denial. From a coal mine to a dying glacier, the film uses pictorial beauty to address the political and social blindness surrounding climate change.
Elias Bötticher (1997, CH) is a Zürich based photographer and director. After working in Berlin and Basel for various com- mercial and documentary projects, he enrolled in the Zürich University of the Arts (ZHdK) to pursue a Bachelor‘s degree in film focusing on camerawork and directing (2020).
