Composition
Nuisance Bear
Churchill, Manitoba is a famous destination for photographing polar bears. But how do they experience the attention? Beautifully composed shots assume a bear’s perspective as it navigates a suspenseful obstacle course of human activity.
Kalsubai
A visual poem on the legend of the Indian goddess Kalsu. Her story resonates in the contemporary lives of the women who live at the foot of Mount Kalsubai and still sing to her in the night.
Beneath Which Rivers Flow
A boy stands in a river with his buffalo, leaning lovingly against the animal while petting it. This mesmerizing world in the marshlands of southern Iraq is Ibrahim’s home. Can he coexist with nature or is the only life he knows about to disappear?
Histoires d’entrejambes
An exuberant animation film in which Myleine Guiard-Schmid asks whether giving birth can also be enjoyable, and receives answers from both mothers and midwives. She discovers, among other things, that an orgasm can help the delivery.
