Cinema Ecologica Screening Program
Film Screening: "Wistfull Wilderness" (Weemoed on Wilderness)
Netherlands, 2012, Dutch with Turkish Subtitles, 88’
Director: Digna Sinke
The island Tiengemeten was once reclaimed from the sea and reshaped to provide fertile agricultural land. In the 1990s a decision was made to let the vagaries of nature loose on the island. Making plans, finding replacement farms for the farmers and finding financing took ten years. In 2006 the "reshaping" of the island was started. The asphalt roads were dug up to make way for creeks, trees were felled and new trees were planted, old dikes were removed and new ones created. Digna Sinke follows the changes in the landscape over a period of 13 years, also recollecting the changes in her own life. The signifying themes of the film are temporality and transitoriness.
