Drifting Woods

Influenced by Suzanne Simard's concept of forest networks, Pia Rönicke crafts a narrative with "Drifting Woods" about the intricate relationships within forest ecosystems. Through botanical studies and conversations with forest workers, the film depicts how nature has been exploited by the industry over the past 250 years. Amidst tall trees and the soft rustling of underbrush, stories are told that are often overlooked. Instead of viewing the forest merely as a resource, Rönicke seeks a new perspective, showcasing the forest in all its diversity.
