Insects Through the Winter
Genres
Overview
This film delves into the life cycles of various insects, highlighting their survival and adaptive strategies through the seasons. It showcases insects like dragonflies and preying mantises in their summer activities of feeding and reproducing, and then shifts focus to their unique winter survival tactics. The film particularly emphasizes the praying mantis's method of laying eggs in a protective case to ensure species continuity. Other species' adaptations are explored, such as aphids laying eggs on tree bark and swallowtail caterpillars forming chrysalises. It also touches on different hibernation methods and the renewal of life cycles in spring, with a new generation of insects emerging to continue the cycle of life. The documentary underscores the diverse and fascinating ways insects adapt to their environments throughout the year.

Mes voisins sauvages
You don't have to travel to faraway countries to observe wildlife, because the fauna of the big city also provides surprises every day. Contrary to expectations, many bird, mammal and insect species have adapted to the concrete jungle. They have become experts of the urban space. “My Wild Neighbors” takes a poetic look at the lives of animals in the city.

Desynchronized
Recent studies show that insects are in decline across the globe and there may be a direct connection between the current climate crisis and these declining populations. DESYNCHRONIZED focuses on Pope Canyon Queens, a beekeeping and queen breeding company in Northern California. Pope Canyon Queens is currently trying to rebuild after the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex fires destroyed their farm, shop, and half of their hives. Their crucial work to breed honey bee queens with stronger genes fortifies beekeepers' hives across the country while they face the effects of climate change and unregulated industries. Dr. Nicholas Teets, PhD Entomology, explains how shifts in phenology are predicted to cause bigger issues. Howard Goldstein, Senior Forest Ecologist at the Prospect Park Alliance explores how community gardens and green spaces in large metropolitan areas may help insect populations recover from loss of habitat and food scarcity.

59th second
This experimental film takes a closer look through the entomologist's lens at the cyclical behavioural patterns linking humans to the insect world. Just as the fig wasp inevitably finds death in the pollination of the fig tree flower, we too are thrown into the dance of passion and death. Drawn by the seductive scent of allurement and the inevitability of the final end.
