Where the Landscape Ends

“Where the Landscape Ends” is a film festival exploring the relationship between humans and the environment within the framework of capitalist extractivism and ongoing colonial histories. The program looks to problematise the human vs. nature dichotomy through the lenses of different filmmakers.

“Where the Landscape Ends” unfolds on the intersection of environmental exploitation and colonial histories as well as questions of gender, race, migration and labour. The festival investigates the historical conditions responsible for the current climate crisis and its unequal ramifications for different populations.

In what way are dominant understandings of “nature” and the relationship to the environment produced by a colonial and capitalist logic? How are the natural sciences entangled in colonialism? What are the extractivist interests tied up in the discipline of geology? These and other questions are given perspective on in the festival’s programming.

The festival will take place

from 30 April to 3 May 2025

Stay tuned for the selection of films to be announced soon!

“Where the Landscape Ends” is funded by Projektfonds Kulturförderung Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.
