Grazing the Sky

GRAZING THE SKY Trailer from Camara Boreal on Vimeo.

Nothing mainstream cinema has delivered in a long time has given us goosepimples like this trailer did. A film about the passion and drive behind circus artists, Grazing the Sky seems like it will truly capture the extraordinary, otherworldly acts circus performers coax from their ordinary, human bodies.

'Today, young people around the world can choose to follow a millenial art previously shared only by families belonging to this way of life. Today, to study the art of the circus is similar to studying any profession of the arts and even sports. Our documentary is composed of the skeleton and muscles of institutions and the skin of the artists. You can not have one without the other. Using the trapeze as a metaphor, A Ras del Cielo explores the reality of the circus today. As a result of this research, we realise that although each trend in the market meets the challenge differently the purpose is the same. In a silk or descrite dress, the trapeze somersault surprises us equally. One goals of A Ras del Cielo is to follow the steps and document the efforts of students and circus schools, trying to keep alive the spirit circus.'
