PLACES WE’LL BREATHE

22 min

An audiovisual essay that summons imagination through a travelogue of constructed and anonymous landscapes. A note about the future. Narratives that intertwine in the interstices between the visual, the auditory, and the expressed, speaking about loss, responsibility, struggle and freedom.

Human progress and ecology do not share the same values. The human factor was introduced into the spectrum of nature as a natural force and asset through the conditions of resource exploitation conditioned by geoeconomic and geopolitical dynamics. The internal mechanisms of ecology, which put the environment first, are based on dimensions beyond our human values, ethics, and vision. A film which reflects on the transmission and preservation of the value of traditional and permanent ways of being and surviving. At the same time, an experiment that is aware of the materiality of film. Namely film as a body, which contains the duality of spirit and matter. (Emil Vasilache)

PLACES WE’LL BREATHE

Davor Sanvincenti | Duration 22 min

An audiovisual essay that summons imagination through a travelogue of constructed and anonymous landscapes. A note about the future. Narratives that intertwine in the interstices between the visual, the auditory, and the expressed, speaking about loss, responsibility, struggle and freedom.

PERVADING ANIMAL

Graeme Arnfield | Duration 31 min

Equal parts systems literacy and kaleidoscopic ecological fantasia, Pervading Animal is a film about butterflies, computer viruses and all the things they touch.

HEAT WAVES

Kent Chan | Duration 21 min

The film examines through twin montages the contexts, politics, and proliferation of different aesthetics of heat. Aesthetics that are often generalised – charged with vibrancy, vitality, and visual complexity – that are increasingly mined at a time when the earth is simultaneously warming.

CURUPIRA AND THE MACHINE OF THE DESTINY

Janaina Wagner | Duration 25 min

An encounter between the entity Curupira, a queer devil who protects the forests of Brazil, and the incarnated ghost of Iracema, a fourteen-year-old sex worker who is on a quest to avenge the past.
