We cordially invite you to the accompanying program for the Czech Landscape exhibition by young photographer Yutong Xie, exploring the contemporary form of the Czech industrial landscape.

This environmental thriller by Tomáš Elšík follows a detective investigation into the deaths of birds of prey in the deforested Czech countryside. The film offers a tension-filled look at the consequences of human intervention in nature. Elšík’s work consistently focuses on the relationship between humanity and the landscape, characterized by a strong visual and lyrical aesthetic.

RESILIENCE (Při zemi)
CZ, 2025, 80 min | Directed by: Tomáš Elšík
In Czech with English subtitles

Amidst a Czech landscape scarred by deforestation, Pavel quietly mows meadows, protects rare plants, and restores wetlands. Klára and her canine companions scour the terrain to uncover the causes behind the deaths of birds of prey. The discovery of the poisoned body of a protected white-tailed eagle sparks a gripping investigation that reveals the disturbing presence of a serial poisoner. As the search progresses, the film becomes a suspenseful probe, blending environmental documentary with the rhythm of a crime thriller. It forces us to reflect on humanity’s role in an environment teetering on the brink of irreversible loss. Are we still capable of reawakening our sensory perception and seeing the world we live in from a holistic perspective, rather than from the standpoint of a single dominant species?
