              I Think We Begin as Light

              Emma Harris & Sille Skovgaard / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 40 min

              Could a collaboration between plants, light and microorganisms show us a new and more fruitful path for agriculture? Take a journey beneath the earth's surface and meet the farmers who are making the attempt.

              Just below our feet lies a living ecosystem shrouded in mystery. A silent and busy community of fungi, bacteria and other microscopic organisms that support the soil’s natural ability to filter water, store carbon and ultimately grow food. But after decades of industrial agriculture, in 20 seasons there will be no fertile soil left to cultivate. 

              A group of regenerative Danish farmers are trying to change that through endless experiments in cultivating living landscapes. But gradually they realize that there are no simple solutions in nature. ‘I Think we Begin as Light’ is an ethnographic journey below the earth’s surface that explores the complex relationships between microorganisms, plants and sunlight. A sensuous and poetic film about the earth disappearing beneath us – and those who struggle to recreate it.
