Flying Scents + Errabonda
Two sensuous short films about body, nature and transformation: 'Flying Scents' by Antshi von Moos and 'Errabonda' by Emma Harris.
Errabonda
Emma Harris / Denmark & Italy / 2026 / World Premiere / 20 min
An experimental and beautiful 16mm film about an organic Italian farm, where soil, weeds, and microbes leave their mark on both the fields and the film itself.
On an organic farm in Italy, people live side by side with nature and its plants, animals, insects, microbes, and weeds. They do so while industrial agriculture has depleted the soil for decades and sent the planet’s biodiversity into free fall. But the farm and its farmers are now trying to rethink agriculture as a place where species can coexist rather than exterminate each other, and where overlooked weeds come to the rescue.
‘Errabonda’ is a wonderfully beautiful and experimental observation of Italian agriculture and a sensory exploration of the intricate and interdependent relationships that exist between soil, plants, and people. A film that blurs the line between images and ecology by inviting organic materials into the image-making process through plant-based chemistry and by allowing the plants to be in direct contact with the film’s 16mm strip.
Flying Scents
Antshi von Moost / Switzerland / 2025 / 66 min
Scientific research and artistic practices exchange and inspire new ideas in a visually graceful film about the complex connections between plants, insects and humans in a volatile world.
In the heart of Zurich, a female-led research team embarks on a mission, determined to unlock the chemical alchemy that makes plants bloom instantly. Meanwhile, author Florianne Koechlin discovers that plants whisper in distinct dialects by releasing a cocktail of scents, while artists Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger blur the line between the organic and the artificial, creating visions inspired by their living, breathing garden.
United by a passion for the plant world, these protaganists explore communication between flora and insects and question and renew their own relationship with them. As new insights unfold, the question remains: how will these revelations be applied and how will they affect our vulnerable ecosystems, shared by all living organisms.
