Fuuu... (Sopro) Tááá: Marãny by artist

"Caution: Men at Work" by the Swedish art and activist group
LAJA
(
Lena Ignestam
,
Ann Engqvist
,
Johanna Norrbo
and
Anna Bokström
) is a satirical mockumentary about the Swedish forestry industry, addressing an urgent need to expose its harmful practices. Despite the industry’s claims of being a world leader in sustainability, there’s nothing green or sustainable about Swedish forestry. Although the film is a satire grounded in Swedish conditions and references, Laja Produktion hopes it will resonate with international audiences as well.
Darkness Matters by filmmaker, artist and educator
Costanza Julia Bani
– is a work-in-progress of a multimedia project dealing with the reappropriation of the night sky. In her piece, the audience is invited to an exercise in resilience, patience and meditation. An ideal movement from one altitudinal zonation to the other guides the observer from olive groves to forests, alpine meadows and mountain profiles by night to rediscover fireflies and the nocturnal vault with its Milky Way.
