Screening of a documentary film
L'île aux oiseaux (Maya Kosa, Sergio da Costa, 2019)
Through the rediscovery of the world in a care centre for wild birds, Antonin opens up the field of possible actions undertaken for the conservation of local fauna and flora. In this familiar setting in the Geneva region (Genthod), on the border between town and country, lulled by the din of aeroplanes, both injured birds and suffering souls are rescued. A concrete example of the (re)connection between a human being and other living beings.
