The Beauty was judged to be the Best Narrative Short at the 2019 London Eco Film Festival.
What if plastic could be integrated into sea life? Take a deep breath and dive into a world, where feelings of guilt dissolve amongst the mysterious depths of the ocean. A world where we encounter bizarre creatures and discover eerily beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately, our air doesn’t last forever and we have to realise that nature alone can't solve this issue. |
the last straw

The Last Straw was judged to be the Best Under 18 Short at the 2019 London Eco Film Festival.
A jarring documentary that expresses the problem, causes, and effects of oceanic plastic pollution. The film explores the complex issues behind ocean pollution through the views of both youths and professionals alike.

the man of trees
|
|
The Man of Trees was judged to be the Best Narrative Feature at the 2019 London Eco Film Festival.
Jean, the Man of Trees, has a cosmic and visceral link with nature, the true source of life. His gesture is a sign of love towards exploited nature, raped and dried up by the "civilized" man; it's to her that the protagonist devotes an entire existence, with humility and transport. Jean is inspired, without selfishness and expectations, he plants seeds of oak and other trees where before there was nothing, just for love. Loosely inspired by L'homme qui plantait des arbres by Jean Giono |
