Filmmaker Ramón Rivera-Moret (Rhode Island School of Design) discusses turning his fascination with astronomy into a film project that has taken him from scientific observatories to Lakota spiritual ceremonies to visits with a shaman and fisherman using the stars in northern Peru. He also reflects on ways film school in Paris, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and his grandmother’s letter writing have influenced current and planned projects about his native Puerto Rico.
