Composition
The Long Way to the Pasture
An observational, highly cinematic account of a recurring episode in the semi-nomadic life of a Kyrgyz shepherd family: the challenging relocation of the village’s livestock to the summer pastures.
Life Invisible
A microbiologist searches the Atacama Desert in Chile for a life-saving medicine against antibiotic resistance. Time is running out, because the delicate ecosystem is being disrupted by lithium mining for electric cars.
Now That We Are Sending You to The End
A girl predicts the end of the world. The deteriorating desert ecosystem directly affects this film: Blake Knecht treated the 16mm film with salt dried up from the Great Salt Lake and buried it in desert soil.
