Aigua Dolça (wip). Flora and Marc, two Menorcans deeply rooted in their land, face dry wells and ravines in decline due to the water crisis in Menorca. Aigua Dolça is an intimate portrait of two lives and an island striving to live in harmony with a natural environment that calls for attention before it is too late.
JOANA BRABO
Joana Brabo’s artistic practice revolves around the word as a plastic, sonic, and spatial material. Her approach to language stems from a relationship with the visual and sonic form of the word. Inspired by phonetics and the radical typographic use of Russian avant-gardes and Dada, she explores unconventional ways of presenting text, shifting it from its purely literary function towards a visual, performative, and spatial territory. In her practice, the word fragments, expands, and moves across different supports: the page, the wall, sign languages, or performative action. Language thus emerges as a field of experimentation where text, image, sound, and gesture coexist and intermingle.
Since 2023, she has been developing projects with deaf people using sign language, where communication acquires a new layer of corporeality and presence.
Sign Language at Full Volume is a short documentary project featuring deaf signers, offering insight into a unique way of perceiving and connecting with the environment. From Menorca, in a context shaped by insularity and a rural setting, the film seeks to portray a community that has built its identity amid structural barriers and limited resources, using percussion as a tool for expression and advocacy.
NINA CHOLET
Nina Cholet filmmaker, supported by Ciclic as an author from the Centre Region (Fr). His short documentary Sentinelles received the Grand Prix Festival À l’Est and his films were presented among others at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Kyotographie, Ovni, Dansfestivalen, Les Rdv de l’Histoire, Escale Documentaire, Doc de Noirmoutier, Fish&Film. She is at the crossroads of documentary, analog and experimentation for a research on the links sensitive to memory and living, through a sensory approach of documentary, essays, art films and music videos. She explores bridges between scientific research and organic approach and develops an environmentally conscious practice by exploring a decolonized cinematographic process of industrial chemistry for an analog artisanal practice developed from plants.
Piel del Mar is an analog documentary short film conceived as a sensory and political journey that explore the meadows of posidonia of Menorca’s coast. A voice guides us through a submerged world where the sea plant becomes memory, skin and film of the land.
