"But the Flowers Remain" - film by Joscha Kotlan, Maximilian Ihlenburg, duration 13'
Travel to one of Europe's last remote mountain villages, a place that serves as a visual time capsule filled with moments of everyday life. This segment offers a glimpse into a world where time seems to stand still, preserving the essence of traditional mountain living.

Artist Karina Eibatova presents "An Artist's Purpose," a short video featuring animated dreamlike landscapes. Her work invites viewers into a world of imagination and creativity, where art becomes a bridge to understanding and appreciating the natural world.
We will close the night with "The Nightingale's Song" ( film by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Adam Loften, duration 39') a film that celebrates the voices of nightingales, which have lit up England's forests every spring for thousands of years. As climate change and development threaten their habitats, this film poses a poignant question: What would be forgotten if we no longer heard the call of this beloved bird? Join folk singer Sam Lee as he draws on an ancient lineage of traditional folk music, creating a deep connection with these songbirds and our living world.
