FRIDAY 24 OCT AT 20.00h Join us for Rooted, an evening of Palestinian films on food, sovereignty, and the land. Two films will be screened: “Untold Revolution: Food Sovereignty in Palestine” (2021) by Ameen Nayfeh (@ameen.nayfeh ) and “The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing” (2024) by Theo Panagopoulos (@theos_perspective ). The event will be held at the @rewild.farming , a nature-cultural space at Fuutlaan 14K, Eindhoven. Untold Revolution: Food Sovereignty in Palestine (2021) — Ameen Nayfeh 26′ Untold Revolution documents the beginning of the journey of the agricultural movement towards food sovereignty in Palestine, from an emancipatory ideological standpoint that seeks to break away from the dependence on the Israeli occupier and the global monopolistic companies. The movement advocates for the adoption of food production systems that are based on natural resources, local production inputs, values of cooperation, and agricultural practices that are culturally, environmentally, socially, economically, and nationally appropriate for the Palestinian context. The film was directed by filmmaker Ameen Nayfeh. The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing (2024) — Theo Panagopoulos 17′ When a Palestinian filmmaker based in Scotland unearths a rarely-seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wild flowers, he decides to reclaim the footage. This tender essay film questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and land. Theo Panagopoulos is a Greek-Lebanese-Palestinian filmmaker and PhD researcher based in Scotland. His work explores themes of collective memory, displacement, fragmented identity and language in an equally sensitive and political way.

Join us this Wednesday for another edition of geo.frames. We will screen two pieces: „Future Foods“ (2019) by @gerardortin and “難忘的形狀 What Is Your Favorite Primitive“ (2023) by @liyifanyifanli . Yi-fan Li will join us for a Q&A session after the screening. See you soon! 

Wednesday, 02.04.2025 – 19:00 h
design academy eindhoven, auditorium „Future Foods“​ revolves around the making of plastic food at the workshops of Replica LTD,​ one of the few UK based companies that still manufactures props for films, advertisements and displays. The perception of food, its appealingness and palatability through a constructed image, come into play when observing these hand-crafted manufacturing processes through a camera. A phone conversation with the CEO of a Finnish future foods‘ start-up ​ introduces us to a cutting edge technology consisting of the production of a new protein generated from water, electricity and CO​2 ​captured from the air. Solein is a new technology that speculates with a near future without agriculture and land use effects. „難忘的形狀 What Is Your Favorite Primitive“ depicts a protagonist wrestling with social and ethical questions that arise from software tools 
designed for image production. How have images changed the way we communicate? How can emojis convey emotional content beyond one’s own perceptions of a feeling? Describing human life (and death) in intimate detail, the film speculates that video technology could construct a new politics of life by projecting a totality 
yet to come.

Melted Night 4 in photos. This last night was an insane run through glitching import cars, purchasable dreams, tube TV surreality, plotless tension, leaving the world by sleeping, and accumulated viral events that only unfold when recorded with a pocketable camera. Thank you for coming! And thank you to the filmmakers who dared to show their astonishing experiments on the big screen. @bjork.aaron @taaaaaaaaeto Andrew Burke @borisnamagnago @pin_tuna @konstantyyy Photos: @leidykarinagomezmontoya

Melted Night 3 in photos. On this evening we experienced winding weeds, abandoned pastures, dancing rocks and adventurous field trips. Through the lens of the filmmakers we were shown the many ways in which people connect to and shape what is vaguely called ‘landscape’. Thank you to everyone who came! And a huge thank you to all the filmmakers that immersed us into these layered stories and unique images. @lucrinzema @harvest.salon @anwyn.howarth @evapobeda @josephineconen @philip_luschen @paz.zip @noahandthedream Photos: @leidykarinagomezmontoya

Melted Night 1 in photos. Together we journeyed through the entanglements of microorganisms, minerals, celluloid, chemicals, data infrastructures, photons and stinky cabbage.

The final night of Melted Film Festival is a reflection on the medium of film itself. These filmmakers offer us a glimpse into lives lived, by simply capturing a fleeting moment, realizing a bright idea or meticulously weaving together a narrative. From absurd visuals to audio-only, this experimental collection challenges what we expect from cinema. Experience the last night of boundary-pushing films with us!
