CRYSTAL ISLAND is an art house style documentary

Crystal Island (UK) is a standout indie film by Ross Silcocks, now confirmed to have won "Best Film Essay" at Climax Madrid 2024 and Faro Portugal 2025 alongside Best Dance Film and Best Soundtrack at Lonely Wolf 2023. Its Thailand-shot, zero-budget production and nature-centric narrative have earned it critical and festival acclaim, marking Ross as a rising cinematic voice for nature.

A film to be felt, not watched. "Crystal Island" is an exploration of humanity's deep-seated bond with the natural world. Ross prompts us to delve into the depth of our individual emotional landscapes, to confront our egos, our capacity for love, surrender and letting go.

“The attention to sound design is exquisite. Crystal Island is underscored by an experimental and worldly soundscape that elevates the movie into realms of the sublime, it allows the space for something quite mesmerising. Featherlight vocal harmonies meeting the depths of oceans allowing us to feel the emotional resonance frame by frame.” ALEX PEREZ - LONELYWOLF FILM FESTIVAL

Crystal Island is inspired by films like Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi

cast & crew

MAIN SCORE

  • Man with long hair and beard playing acoustic guitar outdoors in black and white

    Estas Tonne

    There really is a magic emotion connected to Estas music. Estas guitar carries a wandering, nomadic energy that mirrors Koh Phangan’s mix of seekers, artists, and wild nature.

  • A person standing on a forest trail surrounded by tall trees and foliage.

    DOCETISM

    Docetism is responsible for the underlying deep liquid, earthly dub throughout the film. His sounds are like trees growing, the wind passing through jungles. It’s very connected discography and I am truly honoured to have had such freedom with his music.

  • A woman dressed in bohemian style jewelry holding a flute against a beach landscape with sky and distant islands.

    Dominique Zuniga

    Dominique voice helps turn the film into a meditation rather than just a documentary. The power inside Dominique is clear when she expresses with her voice.
