Locarno 2025 – Semaine de la critique: Flying Scent of Plants, People and Bumblebees von Antshi von Moos - Die Intelligenz der Pflanzen - j:mag

Für Aristoteles stand der Mensch an der Spitze der Hierarchie des Lebens, während er Pflanzen als einfache Organismen definierte.

#LOCARNO78. #Olivia es un poema visual más que una película, una sucesión de imágenes que riman con la metáfora para proponer al público un viaje introspectivo sobre la superación de la ausencia y el autodescubrimiento.
