ECO-ART EXHIBITION AND INSPIRING FILMS FROM THE FROME INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE FILM FESTIVAL 2025
FILM 1: 25 MILLION STITCHES
One Stitch, One Refugee is an artistic statement from the international community about human displacement, on view at WMQFA from March 1 – July 28, 2024. The exhibition includes 25 million hand-sewn stitches, each representing a single displaced human being. The smaller panels are bound to 407 muslin banners. Building the physical representation of this statistic required participation from 2,300 stitches from 37 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
25 Million Stitches was filmed in Cedarburg, Wisconsin at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts and at the Cedarburg Public Library.
FILM 2: JUS D’ORANGE
It explores themes of memory, resilience, and the delicate relationship between humanity and nature, told through the eyes of Toni, an orange grower whose life becomes a metaphor for change and adaptation in a world shaped by industrialization. It’s a universal fable told with very few words, designed to resonate with audiences of all ages and places. I hope this story encourages viewers to reflect on their own relationships with nature, work, and the passing of time.
FILM 3: HEAL THE LAND
Filmed exclusively on site at Heal Somerset, this 25-minute documentary explores how Heal Rewilding is embarking on an ambitious mission to transform a former, unproductive livestock farm into a resilient haven for wildlife recovery.
