Eco Fest: Genesis

There’s a deliberate slowness here, a patience that invites the viewer to observe rather than interpret. Animals move, environments shift, and time feels almost suspended. The film resists conventional storytelling, instead offering a meditative rhythm that mirrors the natural world it portrays. It’s quietly hypnotic — the kind of film that asks for stillness, and rewards it with moments of unexpected wonder.
Film Notes
A poetic, image-driven meditation on creation and the natural world.
After the microscopic wonders of Microcosmos, Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou turn their gaze to something even more expansive — the origin of life itself. Genesis unfolds less as narrative and more as a sensory experience, where vast landscapes, elemental forces and living creatures take centre stage in a kind of cinematic poem.
