Notes on Shapeshifters and Formbenders: The Cold

| Lore of Pain
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

This experimental film utilizes historical sources of time witnesses of the Little Ice Age, which brought a climatic drop of vaguely 4 degrees between the 14th and 19th century, to find imaginations and narrations for a progressed climate change. With 17th century monk diaries or the speculative evolution of photosynthetic moths, the film investigates the interdependencies and adaption strategies in abnormal climatic conditions to understand the many abstractions in which climate is networked and filtered into ecosystems and societies.
