Close Up Film Centre in London presents a special screening. This programme is a continuation of an enduring dialogue between Karel Doing and Franci Duran, two experimental filmmakers who are both interested in Donna Haraway's multi-species thinking. An initial exchange took place in 2018 at the Film Farm in Canada where they both experimented with phytography, a technique that makes it possible to inscribe detailed images of plants on film emulsion. Both films combine microscopic vegetal worlds with scavenged found footage to haunting soundscapes.
