Bruce says: “From the opening shot of a sunrise (in what appears to be real-time) until the closing crepuscular shot, the cinematography dictates the pace and mood of SILENT LIGHT, a film in which dialogue is a rarity. The story takes place in a Mennonite community on a bleak Mexican plateau. Through Alexis Zabe‚s lens, the simplicity of life and land is given an eerie beauty.”
