Let Things Rot
This short film is a journey into the forest with Chilean mycologist Giuliana Furci who reflects on how the so called end of a life in fact leads to new beginnings. Filmed in Chile's striking Araucanía Region landscape, the short presents the wonderful Fungi Kingdom through a poetic perspective that reflects on the importance of allowing for natural cycles of degeneration to unfold. The film encourages viewers to perceive death as the start of something new and as a beautiful part of life's cycle. It features an original soundtrack composed by Enrique Barrenengoa and Elisabetta Monacelli and is narrated by Andy Thorstenson.
