le Jardin (The garden)
Belgium, 2018 | 22 minutes
Tucked under a bridge in the Molenbeek, an urban neighborhood of Brussels, is a hidden wild garden. This enchanting patch of green was designated by the city to be for the preservation of biodiversity - where “nature” can exist under the care of a collective group of gardeners. The trees, plants, knotweed, insects, birds and gardeners are all part of the garden’s natural ecology. The film follows Claire and Jean Pierre, two gardeners that frequent the space and explores the existence of nature within the urban landscape.
