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.

Where the Landscape Ends will take place between the 30th of April and the 3rd of May, and will be showing the films of Sanaz Sohrabi, Marina Resende Santos and Vincent Jondeau, Lisa Rave, Bo Wang and Pan Lu, Sybille Neumeyer, Raúl Silva Cuevas and Tian Guoxin.

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