0.2 Milligrams of Gold

Diego Quinderé de Carvalho, Belgium, Hungary, Portugal, 2021, 24’
DOK Leipzig

2021

Eight thousand five hundred kilometres lie between the Amazon and the Ardennes. In his home country Brazil, filmmaker Diego looks at the inaccessible forest from the outside. Its Belgian counterpiece, however, is easier to explore. Here, everything is laid out by people and neatly ordered. A geologist, a gold miner, and an astronomer provide insights for a philosophical exploration of the origin of existence and the future of our planet.

Between Forests

Diego Quinderé de Carvalho’s 0.2 Milligrams of Gold (2021)

Jannes Callens
09.02.2024

Besides a philosophical reflection on the concept of ‘lieu de mémoire’, the film is also an appeal to protect non-human phenomena in their uniqueness. The filmmaker concludes that he walks on paved forest paths because they are easier to control and more welcoming to man. Without naming it directly, this audiovisual essay touches on the Anthropocene: the era in which the earth suffers the consequences of human activity.
