Vestiges Filmmaker introduction
Vestiges (an archipelago)
Composed as a typology of islands, Vestiges (an archipelago) is a video essay that investigates humans’ insatiable demand for sand, the most extracted natural resource after water.

Rewilding Honeybees

09:14 minutes | USA | 2020


Rewilding Honeybees analyzes the human-nature relationship by presenting a fundamentally new approach to interacting with the natural world through the lens of the honeybee. It intends to change the way people see our role in ‘saving the bees’ and cultivating a more sustainable environment, through shifting our perspectives of what beekeeping actually means.


In the United States, beekeepers are losing 45% of their hives annually, but these losses are not happening in the wild. This film tells the story of a revolutionary beekeeper’s vision to restore honey bees' natural way of living. This could be a solution to saving honeybees. Featuring: Michael Thiele - the pioneer of rewilding honeybees in North America and Dr. Thomas D. Seeley - the foremost researcher of honeybees in the wild.
