Screening Room

This film contemplates the centrality of trees – the giants of nature - to the planet's survival, and ours.

Set in a barren treeless landscape, The Heart of A Tree (2020) is a glimpse into a future world where humans negotiate their way through an inhospitable environment, harvesting air - the new gold – and planting trees on a deserted black beach, hoping to repopulate the planet with its source of oxygen.

Langan’s film is a glimpse into a future world where human beings have evolved and adapted in order to survive, exploring the disconnection between humankind and nature and ultimately within us.
