Event Review
On 13th October, Sixi Museum hosted an Animal Ecologie Environmental Film Festival in collaboration with the ANFFF (Animal Nature Future Film Festival 2024). The screening of the films was divided into two parts: ‘Crawlers, Weasels and Sheep’ and ‘Ohh Birds, Birds’.
From the perspectives of the urban space squeezing on the living space of animals, or entering the city from the perspective of animals, or realising life and death in the process of accompanying animals, eight directors presented the interaction between animals, microorganisms and human beings as the closing of the exhibition A Poem Lovely as a Tree.
In the Post-Screening Session, domestic and international directors of Before Dawn, Mudi, Why do you come here, Kaua ‘i’o’o had an online conversation with the audience, in which they shared their inspirations for the creation of the films and discussed the impact of human activities on animals, species extinction and the many issues of life.
The eight films showed the ways of survival and social systems of animals. Sixi hopes the audience to let go of the subject-object experience of human beings in relation to animals, and to embrace the rich and authentic spiritual experience given to us by nature in the midst of all living things, and to perceive the exuberant power of life.
