Arctic Garden

What kind of garden unfurls at the world’s northernmost settlement, sitting 78 degrees north and seeing temperatures drop below -27ºC? How can plants survive the long winter when the sea, land and sky are covered with heavy snow and the sun has not risen for months? A garden in the Arctic – is it an unobtainable dream or a worthwhile pursuit? By observing, meditating and imagining, ‘Arctic Garden’ journeys through a world where ‘one shade melts into the other’ and seeks a utopian garden where ‘they are all there’: a place where there are no boundaries of space and time (Fridtjof Nansen, Farthest North, 1897).

The Farc Guerilla, a History of the Future

Tempus Fugit

The film delves into the universe of thoughts and memories of Camilo, a teenager with a muscular disorder, as he transitions into adulthood. The film's dialectic, crystallized in an extensive 16-year film record, navigates between the writing of philosophical texts and conversations he has with his friend Luis, with a critical eye toward social systems, his own relationships, and himself. His way of feeling propels the temporal leaps in one direction or another, with their drifts and reveries, similar to the ways in which memory operates. Time becomes both theme and vehicle.

You, My, Omma, Mama

Shot near Marseille in a grotto overlooking the Mediterranean, ‘You, My, Omma, Mama’ depicts a journey through space and time in search of our grandmothers and connections to our past, towards the history of the future. The world Prouvost invents here might perhaps originate with the 11 cm figurine known as the “Venus of Willendorf” as great-grandmother of us all. The artist borrows the story of this stone-age sculpture, reinterpreting and interweaving contextual motifs. Among the many interpretations that fascinate Prouvost is one whereby the figurine, named “Venus” by her finder, might not be a fertility symbol but rather a representation of a wise grandmother.

The film highlights the growing trend of these settlers establishing illegal "herding outposts," which serve as a pretext for seizing vast tracts of Palestinian land. The documentary traces the surge in violence that followed the devastating attacks on Israel in October 2023. Amidst the chaos and fear, extremist Jewish settlers have exploited the situation to intensify their land-grabbing activities. Eyewitnesses recount harrowing tales of intimidation, harassment, and physical violence perpetrated by these settlers, often under the watchful eye of Israeli security forces.
