“What does silence mean in film?” asks Pereda of this experimental video piece, both his most formally atypical work and yet a perfectly logical extension of the concepts explored in his “narrative” features. All Things follows a staging of Sor Juana Inès de la Cruz's poem “First I Dream” by the actress/artist/political activist Jesusa Rodríguez; Pereda notes, “(de la Cruz) writes about silence in terms of the intellect, as it being a necessity for knowledge.” At the heart of the film is Pereda's desire to understand how silence, space, and stasis unite to form meaning and truth.
