Although sometimes seen as distinct entities, humans and nature are inextricably linked and co-dependent. As humans, we are born into nature; we need it to survive, yet we abuse and destroy it. The films in this session explore the various facets of the human-nature relationship: the intricate, the poetic, and the grotesque. We invite you on a journey through changing landscapes and seasons, exploring the often ambivalent ways in which humans live within and alongside nature.
