On Melting Snow
by Mojtaba Bahadori, Belgium-Iceland, 2024, 73' Greek Premiere
Each landscape reflects a memory of our planet, memories that have been cruelly divided by time and man-made political borders. For the past 33 years, Sophie Cauvin has been on a journey to engage with these transformed landscapes, collecting and reuniting these fragmented memories, and immortalising them in her astonishing art creations.
