Habitat: short film by Steffen Krones

by David Backes October 7, 2019
October 7, 2019

This is a fascinating two minutes. It’s not a documentary, but more of an artistic meditation on habitat, including that of humans. I’m curious to know what you think of it.

Produced by German director and filmmaker Steffen Krones, it was the winner of the 2018 Milano Montagna film festival. Here is Krones’ enigmatic introduction to the film:

In the last few years I travelled to different parts of our planet.
From the intimidating vast arctic north to the tropical rich rainforests in Costa Rica.
Ironically It’s been those places far away from human civilization that taught me the most about us.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.

This post seems to best fit in the teal portion of the singing wilderness spiritual map.

Instagram post 2025001248853153935_1749174319 Sigurd Olson's "Easter on the Prairie" has long been a favorite of his readers. But its joyous theme has a darker context: the tragedy of the Dust Bowl. The message is worth revisiting as we face the struggles of our own times. (To get to the article, follow the link at my bio.)

Sigurd’s Corner

"To anyone who has spent a winter in the north and known the depths to which the snow can reach, known the weeks when the mercury stays below zero, the first hint of spring is a major event. You must live in the north to understand it. You cannot just come up for it as you might go to Florida for the sunshine and the surf. To appreciate it, you must wait for it a long time, hope and dream about it, and go through considerable enduring."
