This short film programme brought to you by Encounters looks at the multiple ways humans engage with the spaces they inhabit, their inherent symphonies, kinetic movements as well as the hostile environments that can still be called home. These films invite us to be in conversation with our surroundings and to find ways to carve out room to create and exist.
