Wounded Edges

About This Movie

Wounded Edges, directed by Yannick Mosimann, is this fascinating blend of documentary and mystery that really digs into the aftermath of a forest fire in Ticino. It’s shot on 16mm, which gives it this beautiful, grainy texture, and what sets it apart is how Mosimann actually developed the film using the ashes from the very landscape he’s documenting. There’s this haunting quality to it, as each frame feels imbued with the spirit of the land—both its destruction and resilience. The pacing is contemplative, inviting you to really soak in the visuals and sounds. It’s an emotional exploration that captures a moment in time while pondering larger themes of nature’s cycle and memory.
