Elsa Despoix, Pressure (2025)
Pressure explores the hidden infrastructures beneath the Locarno Film Festival, uncovering the quiet tension between cultural celebration and environmental impact. Shot from the ground up, literally, the film observes the seams of temporary architecture, traces of human presence, and the subtle resilience of nature. Rather than offering answers, Pressure invites viewers to reflect on the cost of large-scale events and how we might reimagine them in more sustainable way.
