Less is more: Erase and Rewild


The planet is giving us alert signals, one after another, as the battle between nature and human beings goes on. We offer you to consider the possible paths that might be taken, either catastrophic or amicable.

And please remember that every single choice matters. Big things start small.

WHERE WE USED TO SWIM

Lake Urmia in Northern Iran was once the largest lake in the Middle East. But human influence set its course, and brought upon a devastating drought that the lake could not withstand. Today, just 5% of the original lake remains. The majority of the land is now barren and covered by salt. Lake Urmia’s ruin has become a political symbol all over the country. This cinematic essay observes the places of present and past and weaves a new narration with fragments of identity and memory.
