Unstable Rocks
Ewelina Rosinska, 2024, 25 min

Filmed with a Bolex camera, Unstable Rocks offers a meditative exploration of the Portuguese landscape, where geology, animals, and human presence seamlessly merge. Shifting between black and white and colour, the film lingers on rocks, animals, religious imagery, and quiet, everyday moments. The rhythmic pace invites contemplation of time, the landscape, and the subtle traces left behind by both human presence and the natural world.

Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths
Eva Giolo, 2025, 24 min

In Eva Giolo’s latest work the resonances of place, magic and myth unfold through play. Attendant to the landscape through a child’s-eye, the film streams into the specific, hidden, and vast geologies of the Dolomite mountains, through the trills and murmurs of Ladin, the minority Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in the region. As the children narrate local folklore, this language and its oral traditions, passed from body to body, itself becomes corporeal and indivisible from the land.

Postpartum Film
Sally Lawton, 2024, 12 min

An evocation of the experience of early motherhood, Postpartum Film uses reenactments, performances and home-film to explore sensations of separation and wholeness associated with becoming a mother. Lawton brings together elements of life from before and after giving birth, reflecting on the discontinuity of the adult world and childhood, and playing with duration and the subjective perception of the passage of time.

Scent Line on a Moving Mountain
Eiko Soga, 2024, 17 min

Centred on an exchange of knowledge and experience between an indigenous Ainu elder and a filmmaker during the early stages of her pregnancy, Scent Line on a Moving Mountain pays close attention to the sensations of a type of ecological relationship that is no longer commonly practiced in Hokkaido, Japan. We see the two women foraging and cooking together, finding abundance where it isn’t immediately apparent.
