Balqaş Jyry

Balqaş Jyry is a film by the women’s collective Artcom, created as a continuation of the long-term practices of care for the Lake Balkhash as Care for Balkhash initiative. Through the movement of water, the breath of wind, and the rhythm of the steppe, Balkhash tells its story — a story of the profound bond between nature and humans, ruptured by colonialism, industrialization, and ecological violence. Inspired by the poetic tradition of jyr and the steppe philosophy of qazaqliq, the film restores the lake’s agency — its ability to resist, its right to recover, and its future.

Speechless

This short film uses a fishbowl as a metaphor for our fragile, interconnected world. Inside, three goldfish symbolize innocence and harmony. Initially, the bowl is gently passed between hands, showing cooperation. But as the story progresses, possessiveness and aggression turn the exchange into chaos. The struggle for control causes the bowl to slip and crash, representing the destruction of harmony caused by greed and ego. The film emphasizes how conflicts and the pursuit of power can lead to catastrophe, urging us to value cooperation and respect to protect our shared world. By Christian Niccoli

The denial

The Denial from Incendies captures a stark contrast: a lone diner sits in calm detachment while a raging fire engulfs the landscape outside. This moving digital painting transforms classical stillness into dynamic motion, mirroring the unstoppable forces of climate change. The fire becomes a metaphor for a world in crisis, and the figure’s inaction reflects society’s denial in the face of environmental upheaval. Created through a dialogue between AI and hand-crafted techniques, the work provokes urgent reflection: how long can we watch the planet burn without acting? By Louis-Paul Caron

New Studies at Huningue / Basel or the tree to sleep

It is the multi-annual, artistic documentation of swarms of starlings that gather in autumn in the border triangle around Basel (Switzerland) before they migrate to the warm south of Europe. They spend the nights together and exchange information. Swarms of starlings are an impressive demonstration of how many small birds united together can defend and protect themselves against larger, stronger birds, their predators. There is no ‘boss starling’ who sets the direction, but rather these flocks regroup in a matter of seconds in response to danger from attackers; Swarm intelligence par excellence. By Lutz P. Kayser

Micromondes

Under the cover of a peaceful forest, flowers suddenly catch fire and give birth to a mysterious ball of energy. Floating through the air, the small incandescent sphere moves through an increasingly dark ecosystem before transforming into a strange virtual universe. Audrey St-Laurent wrote and directed Micromondes after several exploratory trips into the forest, then hosted a collaborative workshop to handcraft most of the props. Completely filmed in studio, this dialogue-free short film is a contemplative reflection on our relationship with the ephemeral and our transition between the natural and digital worlds. Micromondes explores the connection between nature and simulation, through ecological transformations, in the light of sustaining hopes toward a bright future.

Bloodlines At Sea

This experimental film combines traditional cinema, archives, and soundscapes to explore the links between marine ecosystems, social structures, and environmental imbalances. The film follows the invisible journey of pollutants and greenhouse gases, from their industrial origins to the depths of the ocean, where they alter the balance of life. The underwater images reveal an environment that is both magical and fragile, populated by organisms adapted to extreme conditions. From an ecofeminist perspective, Bloodlines at Sea questions the relationships between resource extraction, bodily domination, and systemic violence that affect both natural environments and marginalized populations.
