Experimental films exploring ecology, ancestral knowledge, and Indigenous worldviews, tracing entanglements of land, identity and survival. Presented in collaboration with EAEFF25 and KADIST’s ongoing international program Double Takes, which activates film and video works through physical and online presentations at partner institutions and on KADIST.tv.
Artists: Fileona Dkhar, Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, Sky Hopinka, Karrabing Film Collective, and Debashish Paul
The screening brought together five experimental films and videos by artists and collectives working across South Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Blending non-fictional forms with performance, mythology, and media poetics, the works engage urgent questions around ecology, ancestral knowledge, and Indigenous worldviews. From the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya to the Dakota plains, and from Guaraní myth to postcolonial landscapes poisoned by extraction, each film traces the entanglements of land, identity, and survival. Working in modes that hover between documentary and fiction, testimony and dream, the artists challenge dominant visual grammars and invite us to imagine other ways of seeing, sensing, and inhabiting the world.
