NATURA FUGIT

NATURA FUGIT explores how a landscape is transformed over time—a geological tempo beyond our present-day perception—revealing a process of gradual degradation in which we humans play an active role, with our own actions accelerating the already evident ongoing changes. The film unfolds in a specific location, a visible, tangible, and verifiable setting for the process of global warming and the disappearance of glaciers. This is the Mer de Glace, in the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix, one of the first natural environments where the conquest of nature is taking place. It portrays the increasing human activity in the mountains while revealing undeniable evidence of the accelerating climate change. The film takes us back thousands of years, then rapidly moves forward, traversing successive ice ages and reaching our present day, before continuing hundreds of years into the future—a future marked by the predictable degradation and eventual disappearance of life on the planet. NATURA FUGIT is set on Europe’s most studied, painted, and referenced glacier, depicted in the past by well-known artists such as Friedrich, Ruskin, Turner, and Violet le Duc. The short film illustrates, through sketches, the constant cycle of the ice’s advance and retreat—its layers expanding and contracting repeatedly, as if the landscape itself were breathing (somewhat agonically)—culminating eventually in an environmental catastrophe and the collapse of all life.

Arrebato (1980) is now considered the definitive cult film of Spanish cinema, and its director, Iván Zulueta, a legendary yet “cursed” filmmaker. Once hailed as one of the most promising voices of his generation, Zulueta vanished into obscurity following the film’s commercial failure. Over the years, Arrebato has taken on an almost mythical status, eerily mirroring the fate of its creator—both consumed by drugs, cinema, and ultimately, disappearance. Forty-five years later, a film crew sets out to unravel the enigma behind the film and its elusive director, unaware of the risks that come with entering the hypnotic and dangerous world of Arrebato.
