Welcome to part 2 of our 5 part short film program! Today, the Forum for Radical Imagination on Environmental Cultures at TNOC takes us into a world of creative introspection and revelation. Join us as collective dreams, desires, and the hidden ecosystems of urban landscapes reveal new ways to see nature and our place within her.

I was Born Before You
by Laetitia Striffling and Laure Wauters / 3 minutes
Music clip with singer Lauriane Petit.

*il tempo della notte (the time of night)
by Emilio Fantin / 10 minutes
Explore the collective dreamscape of participants in dream workshop by Fantin, as they intertwine memories of earth, water, wind, and fire, revealing the profound bond between human consciousness and the elements.

The Hidden Life of a Pavement Crack
by Susanne Elizabeth Wieland / 10 minutes
Six months of observations help us uncover the hidden ecosystem thriving within a single London pavement crack, offering glimpses into the past and present cultural and ecological values and connections beneath our urban landscape.

Locus Amoenus 
by Orestis Athanasopoulos / 14 minutes
Amoenus is a latin adjective meaning "amene, pleasant, delightful, charming". Therefore, the literal translation of locus amoenus would be "pleasant place". This pleasant place consists of three basic elements: trees, grass and water. The garden is often located in a secluded area and functions as a landscape of the mind.
