Out of Nowhere
“Our weather is getting angrier. Everywhere. By protecting nature we can protect ourselves.”
Synopsis
The interactive film gently explores how preserving alluvial forests, marshes and wetlands can help us face the challenges of an ever angrier, unpredictable climate. Told through the eyes of Anna, a lifelong resident of Hallein in Austria, the experience flows from a personal memory of the devastating floods that hit Europe in 2021 to reveal how reconnecting with nature may be key to protecting ourselves going forward. Every other month we hear about yet another devastating extreme weather event—in Nigeria, Pakistan, or Texas, and close to home, with severe floods in Austria and across Europe in 2021 and 2024. Each one of these events carries stories of personal loss, but also of inspiring resilience. If we can come together in the aftermath of a disaster, shouldn’t we be able to do so in preparation?
