"Becoming Landscape" directed by Eva Giolo.

Eva Giolo, a Belgian artist whose work explores the possibilities of film, video, and installation, presents us in her second appearance at the festival with a lyrical portrait of Fogo Island in Canada, re-situating us in nature, in the act of observing and waiting, while we meditate on the relationships between our bodies and the landscape, consciousness, and the circular rhythm of time.

OPEN CALL — JUNE ISSUE
BORDERS

Borders define and divide. They separate, contain, protect — but also reveal, contrast, and give form. A border is never neutral. It marks a threshold: between inside and outside, self and other, signal and noise.

For our June issue, we invite films that explore borders across scales — biological membranes, political frontiers, cultural lines, perceptual limits, ecological thresholds, invisible systems.

What happens at the edge?
Where does one system end and another begin?
Can a border be porous, unstable, generative?

We are looking for works that examine how borders are drawn, enforced, resisted, dissolved, or reimagined. Films that engage contradiction: separation and connection, violence and transformation, definition and possibility.

From cells to nations, identities to ecologies, visible lines to unseen boundaries — we welcome experimental, documentary, hybrid, scientific, poetic, and speculative forms.

We also invite visions that move beyond the border entirely: fragile, utopian, impossible, or emergent ways of living without edges.

Deadline: May 20

May is here. Body Atlas unfolds on Labocine—where bodies and environments echo, overlap, and transform one another.
Over 100 films from the Science New Wave.

A new issue tracing shifting forms and shared terrains. Surfaces become passages. Boundaries soften. Organs echo territories, tissues suggest terrain, and gestures trace invisible routes through lived space. Across these works, scales collapse and expand—what is held within begins to mirror what surrounds. This is not a fixed map, but an unfolding cartography—where bodies and environments continuously inscribe one another.

Yesterday we premiered Symbiosis x Infinite Sums—five films, five pairs of filmmakers and scientists from the Simons Foundation.

This year’s theme, Infinite Sums, celebrates mathematics and its place in culture—through experimental approaches: from gravitational waves to the buzz of New York City, meditations on noise, paths and trajectories across art and science, the beauty (and mishaps) of translation, and dehydrated microscopic beings speaking back to us.

These films will soon be available to watch via + — stay tuned.

A few glimpses here.
Big thanks to Firehouse Cinema for hosting us.

The Symbiosis Lab Meeting marks a midpoint in the collaborative process between scientists and filmmakers, held this year at the NYU Production Lab . It brings together participants to reflect on their process and share glimpses of works in progress.

Scientists from diverse disciplines in the basic sciences at the Simons Foundation join filmmakers ranging from animators to experimental and narrative practitioners, forming a uniquely cross-disciplinary exchange. This year’s theme is “the beauty of mathematics,” inspired by the Simons Foundation’s Infinite Sums initiative to celebrate the beauty of math and its place in culture.

Pick of the day: "Daughter Sun" directed by Skyler Knutzen.

Elizabeth's paintings and sculpture work is inspired by the patterns formed in nature. Fractal patterns make up everything, from leaves to humans.
She was first introduced to these patterns by her father, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist. Elizabeth has her worries about the future of humanity, but these patterns reveal a hidden hope within.

A journey through speculative bodies, synthetic memories, and post-human dreams. At New Museum, the exhibition New Humans: Memories of the Future brings together artists imagining new forms of life shaped by artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and virtual worlds. From uncanny avatars to hybrid beings, the works ask what it means to remain human in an age of transformation. Many familiar faces and kindred spirits along the way… and the Science New Wave in the house.
