About this Event
Searching For Satyrus is a profoundly moving documentary by acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Rena Effendi, charting her personal journey to find a rare and endangered butterfly named after her late father.
Her search leads her into a heavily militarised borderland between Armenia and Azerbaijan — a landscape shaped by decades of conflict, displacement, and ecological devastation. As she retraces her father’s footsteps through ruined towns and dangerous terrain, the film becomes an exploration of memory, identity, loss, and survival.
Blending personal memoir, political history, and environmental inquiry, the film offers an intimate and globally relevant portrait of how conflict impacts both human lives and fragile ecosystems. It is a story of beauty persisting in the most unlikely places.
