Screening of the films "Borj el mechkouk" and "Acid forest" by Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė, on Friday 12 December at the
Salle des fêtes in Bilia.
Documentary screening: Borj El Mechkouk & Acid Forest
Screening followed by discussion
📽 BORJ EL MECHKOUK by Driss Aroussi (32', 2023, France/Morocco)
In the vastness of the desert, a man and his mule set off in search of a source of water.
This minimalist, almost meditative journey reveals the power of the landscape and the fragility of those who cross it.
A sensory film that questions our relationship with territory, movement and survival in an arid environment.
📽 ACID FOREST by Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė (63', 2018, Lithuania)
Can you imagine a tourist site where you come to watch a dying forest?
Acid Forest takes us to a corner of Lithuania where there was once a vast pine forest.
Today, the place has become one of the emblems of 'dark tourism', attracting visitors and the curious to a landscape transformed by a colony of cormorants.
Through this ironic and fascinating observation, the film questions our view of nature and the ecological disasters that we sometimes help to make a spectacle of.
🎟️ Free admission
