Plus Short Film: In the Flame We Reveal Ourselves | Virgina Heath | 2025 | English

In The Flame We Reveal Ourselves is a short documentary essay film about climate anxiety, rendered solely through music and image. The interplay of music (by musical collaborators, Afterlands), and visual storytelling explores our desire to protect the environment while paradoxically allowing its destruction.
