One of these nights

One of these nights

It was a day like any other, until the sky darkened and the earth began to vibrate. A huge storm came up, bringing not only wind and rain, but also the feeling that nature itself was on the attack in a last, desperate attempt. Floods drowned entire towns, lightning struck with an intensity that burnt down everything in its path. What if nature had learnt from us how to wage war? Perhaps we are already living in a dystopia in which nature’s war against us has already begun. No army in the world could stop this force. Gianluca Vallero

My Ancestors Were Farmers

My Ancestors Were Farmers

The film explores the fading memory of Javanese agrarian culture through the traditional Wiwitan ritual, a ceremonial rice harvest that embodies the spiritual harmony between humans, nature, and ancestral spirits. As modernity encroaches, this sacred practice gradually disappears, taking with it generations of wisdom and ecological connection. Through a poetic and narrative approach, the film revives ancestral energy and transforms nature into a spoken message, adapted from the Wiwitan tradition. More than a visual archive, this cinematic work serves as a gentle act of resistance against forgetting, a call to honor the language of nature and the wisdom of tradition before they vanish completely.

Balqaş Jyry

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

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

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

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

UNHOLY GUACAMOLE: Deforestation, Water Capture, and Violence Behind Mexico’s Avocado Exports

UNHOLY GUACAMOLE: Deforestation, Water Capture, and Violence Behind Mexico’s Avocado Exports

Avocados grown for export to the United States have fueled widespread deforestation and water theft in the Mexican states of Michoacán and Jalisco, with dire consequences for the rights of local residents. A report by Climate Rights International documented how major US companies were contributing to this disaster by failing to ensure the avocados they imported from Mexico were sourced sustainably. Since the release of the report and this video in 2023, local Mexican officials, civil society, and community leaders have joined forces to launch an ambitious satellite-based certification and conservation program—and, in doing so, they have created a promising model for efforts around the globe to reduce commodity-driven deforestation and catalyze community conservation.
