by Komeil Soheili, Iran, 2023, 29'10'' - out of competition, Italian premiere
The tradition of the seven labors of Rostam (Persian Hercules) actualized to the climate crisis.
The Land of Demons moves in a continuous alternation between theatrical performance (Persian and Korean) and documentation of the greatest challenges to be faced to safeguard the environment.
For this particular mix of art and documentary, the heroes of our times are young climate activists who try to reconcile human activity with nature.
