Planet in Focus: Shorts Program: Clear Cut- Films About Land, Loss and Resilience
This program brings six films to Toronto for the first time – each approaching landscapes and our relationship to them from distinct perspectives and across different regions. The films move between animation, intimate testimony, investigative documentary, dance, and experimental modes of storytelling. Together, they explore the beauty and complexity of our natural world, and the forces that transform, exploit, protect, and reshape it.
