Herbaria
Film and meeting
After the screening, join us for a conversation with Anka Wandzel and Klara Cykorz about cinema, ecology, archives, and thickets—both cinematic and very real.
Herbaria is a lyrical film essay about care, memory, and the work of preserving the world from disappearing. Argentine director and archivist Leandro Listorti intertwines cinema and botany, revealing surprising similarities between film preservation and herbarium creation.
Archival botanical films, contemporary observations of the work of archivists and botanists, and analog gestures – drying, cataloging, storing – make up a story about the fragility of matter and the responsibility for its preservation.

Facts about mass species extinction and the disappearance of cinema history are juxtaposed with digressions and personal creative practices.
Herbaria proposes thinking about archiving as an act of tenderness and resistance to oblivion and cultural and biological homogeneity.
