Film Details

Synopsis

Picture a Forest is an anti-landscape performing its own impossible, inevitable annihilation. The north Florida woodlands are fractured by strobe light, offering glimpses of their vitality and fragility. Over time, these flickering slices of the natural world become more corrupted and illegible, decaying into garbled datastreams. As the forest fails to preserve itself, it demands that we re-calibrate our vision.

This film screens as part of the combined program You Thought the World Was Yours When You Were Young but Now You Know It’s Disappearing.
