The event
What if landscapes could tell their own stories? From Switzerland to Brazil, five films explore territories transformed by human activity. Mines, forests, abandoned towns and threatened landscapes become witnesses to our choices and their consequences. A geocinema where memory, exploitation, resistance and regeneration intersect.
The films
Le paysage bioculturel de la Serra da Moeda
Loïc Ronsse
Across 25 kilometres of the Serra da Moeda, the film reveals the tensions of a changing territory: preserved waterfalls and mining dust, native forests and devastated landscapes, luxury gated communities and occupied land. Through these contrasts, it offers a sensitive reflection on the territory’s invisible conflicts and on what we call “development.”
Marie Geiser
Shot on Super 8, this short film offers a poetic exploration of Pyramiden, the former Russian mining town abandoned in the Svalbard archipelago.
Inhabitable
Loïc Ronsse
A documentary fiction imagining Earth being discovered by an extraterrestrial civilization after it has been devastated by mining. The images were recorded in Brumadinho, Brazil, after the 2019 mining dam collapse that killed 272 people.
Limits
Simon de Diesbach
Using a 3D scan of the Chaney forest in Switzerland, the film explores the intimate relationship between a man and a landscape threatened by gravel extraction.
Vieillir avec les Arbres
Loïc Ronsse, Bárbara Lissa
