Kino ARMATA and DYVÓ present a series of monthly collaborations on the topic of climate change and the environment. Each month will feature different films that address our connections with nature, animals, the environment and topics such as plastic pollution and climate change followed by discussions and reflections after the film screening.

We’re starting the first collaboration with "Samsara" directed by Ron Fricke, a poetic film about industrial life that has become an inevitable part of us.

How aware are we of the way we live, but how aware are we of the way we consume as a society? Are we part of nature or do we see it as something separate from us that we can exploit? Are our habits changeable and can we together avoid an event that otherwise has the potential to be catastrophic for the earth? We hope this film inspires us to a new awareness of the environment around us.

Filmed in twenty-five locations over a five-year period and acclaimed for its mesmerizing visuals and music, this film captures both the tedious and the wonderful, as well as the greatest depths of the human spirit.
