Kateryna Ruzhyna / Czech Republic / 2024 / World Premiere / 5 min.
synopsis
This experimental film takes a closer look through the entomologist's lens at the cyclical behavioural patterns linking humans to the insect world. Just as the fig wasp inevitably finds death in the pollination of the fig tree flower, we too are thrown into the dance of passion and death. Drawn by the seductive scent of allurement and the inevitability of the final end.“I believe that documentaries, and especially art in general, can process reality in an alchemical way so that it has the right representation.”
