Micromondes

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.

Manchitro: The Homeland

Biju, a young child, lives with his family in an indigenous village, very close to hills and the sky. Biju’s father tells him a story about a fairy who saves people in trouble. Biju believes in the fairytale from his heart. One day, some people from the city arrive in the village and inform them that hotels will be built there, and they must leave their homes. Biju becomes frustrated with this news and turns to the fairy from his father’s story for help. Despite Biju’s pleas, no fairy comes to his rescue, and he finds himself sinking into the water. Just like millions, Biju cant find any option to save his childhood, to save his dreams standing in front of modern development and urbanization. No fairy helps them, no super power comes to rescue them, no God protects them from the danger. No one listens to their tear sheds, their struggles. No fairy from the fairytale appears to save them.

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.

Bloodlines At Sea

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.
