Otherfield

As part of our Rough Cut screening we invite you to join a safe space for constructive feedback, ideas and susggestions.

Nirmala Lan Hessellund ( ) will share her WIP “The Orchid Hunt” (WT) exploring themes of belonging, memory and preservation of the nearly invisible.

Some people speak of landscape as the earliest expression forming a culture. Here preserving plants becomes about preserving culture. In the forests of Taiwan, a man hunts for endangered orchids as a woman searches for belonging in the Taiwanese landscape. But what does it mean to be preserving nature in the face of ecological destruction? And what does it mean to find belonging on disputed land?

Otherfield is a festival dedicated to non fiction and processes away from commercial pressure.
