As part of Environmental Film Festival '25, enjoy an experiential gallery screening event exploring both natural and constructed ecologies, through the merging of living environments and lived experience, and our interconnection with water.
With three short films, an artist talk by Eugenia Lim, and plenty of time to chat and mingle, the program invites audiences to rethink the world around you, because Environment is Everywhere.
This pay-as-you-can screening is presented by Trocadero Projects and Environmental Films Australia. All funds raised will be donated to the APHEDA Gaza Emergency Appeal.
PROGRAM
๐ The Stream VIII (2017) ๐
Japan, 6' 47"
A contemplative and visually striking sonic experience, connecting cinema, sound art, and waterways through elegant compositions, underwater views, and the delicate dance of algae swaying in the stream. A reflection on the tension between natural forces and agricultural order, capturing both beauty and resistance in motion.
๐ Just Beneath The Surface (2023) ๐
Torres Strait, 5' 20"
Sweeping oceanic imagery, meditative soundscapes and a symbolic performance merge with Torres Strait Islander knowledge and lived experience to consider identity, culture, and Earthโs natural cycles. Created by Erub Island artist Jimmy John Thaiday of the Kuz and Peiudu clans, this powerful, moving vision conveys our inextricable bond with the ocean.
๐ METABOLISM (2023) ๐
Australia, 29' 15"
A cinematic poem by artist and filmmaker Eugenia Lim that lays out a web of relationships, connections, and interdependencies with the natural and constructed ecologies around the Western Treatment Plant and Wirribi-yaluk (Werribee river).
For the Wadawurrung, Wirribi-yaluk is the โspineโ of Country, a waterway that has perpetuated life since time immemorial, and this experimental documentary offers a portrait of its living, working ecology and the multispecies it sustains.
Study how the body is land and land is body, and see Melbourneโs West through new eyes.
Followed by a short talk by Eugenia Lim and audience mingling.
