Shorts: The Inflammation of Nature

£11.00

The Inflammation of Nature unfolds as a cinematic x-ray of ecological trauma. Across six shorts, filmmakers give voice to environments marked by fire, silence, and collapse. Highlights include Firewalk (Finland), a pre-apocalyptic midnight journey through burning forests; Just Sea (Malta), a quiet elegy to disappearing marine life; and Goldau (Switzerland), a reconstruction of the 1806 landslide that buried a village within minutes. Other works (Anima, A Bear Remembers, Porcelain Perfect) reflect on memory, folklore, and human complicity. Collectively, the programme reveals how landscapes bear witness to exploitation, each scar a reminder that wounds cannot be hidden. This is cinema as testimony — urgent, haunting, and necessary.
