Casino_Video_Club: Dzhovani Gospodinov

VENUE: Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge, Luxembourg.

In his latest film Meadows Wait, Mist Diffuses (2024), filmmaker and video artist Dzhovani Gospodinov captures the enigmatic energies of Hosbësch, a forest in Luxembourg that has shaped his personal connection to the natural world.

Exploring the ways in which humans disrupt and alter the intimacies between animals, the film queries the ethics of our intrusion into fragile ecosystems. Through a multi-year, minimally interventionist filming process, Dzhovani Gospodinov drifts along the boundaries of documentary and experimental storytelling. Moving between the visual and affective modalities of the voyeuristic and introspective, the film is at once a portrait of — and elegy to—Hosbësch.
