Human Beeing
The relationship between people and bees is one of the best mapped phenomena in human history. In most cultures, the honey bee used to be considered a sacred animal and enjoyed great respect. Today, due to our irresponsible interventions in nature, it is facing extinction. Together with Honeymen, two amateur beekeepers from Brno, we set out to search for an answer to how to save the bees. However, it soon becomes clear that it is not only the bees that are dying; it is also something in us. Human Beeing is a reflection upon modern humans losing their relationship both to nature and to themselves. It is not a film about the bees but with the bees. It is about humility, faith and dying humanity at a time of increasing dominance of technology.
PLAYTOPIA
Playtopia brings together eight children who have never met before inside a white, undefined space. Through play, debate, self-recorded fragments, and hand-made collage sequences, the film moves between the real and the imagined. Rather than offering answers, Playtopia observes how a society forms when children are left alone with the world we have given them.
