Programme 1: Sites of Impact (40’)
The relationship between humans and nature is changing, and it’s leaving marks on the land and in our minds.
Reign of Silence - Lukas Marxt
A motorboat, obeying instructions sent by radio, forms a spiral on the surface of the water of an Alpine lake.
The Monk - Paulius Sliaupa
A series of snowy landscapes sublimates a disconcerting alienation from nature.
White Cloud - Emmanuel Van der Auwera
Ethical and environmental changes are coming together on the assembly line of the digital world.
Programme 2: Shine a Light (43’)
Three films shed new light on their surroundings. Some relationships are underexposed, while others are overexposed, causing the perspectives to constantly shift.
Light Displacement - Meggy Rustamova
In the shadow of a Japanese tree, innocent flashes of light are transformed into military weapons.
3 minutes of darkness - Edith Dekyndt
Can the Great Wall of China really be seen from space?
Luces del Desierto - Félix Blume
