Les Rites de Passage

by Johannes Krell and Florian Fischer (14 min) 14 min | 2025

A cloud of ash settles softly upon the currents of a river. Light enters the heart of a tree through a myriad of tiny holes. Monoculture forests succumb to parasites and become fertile ground for forms of life still to come. A film about earthly and mythological passages through becoming and decay.

Press Les Rites de Passage

LES RITES DE PASSAGE ist ein ästhetisches und visuelles Kurzfilmkunstwerk, hochaktuell und zeitlos zugleich.
Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung (FBW)
Florian Fischer and Johannes Krell take us on a phantasmagorical journey that challenges human understanding of change and history with a geological and almost mythological perspective.
Loes van Keulen / IFFR Rotterdam

Synopsis

In a series of brief episodes, LES RITES DE PASSAGE attends to the decay of monoculture forests, fossil memories and ritual acts. Light enters the heart of a spruce through tiny holes left behind by bark beetles. The spruce forests are dying, becoming fertile ground for forms of life still to come. Over millions of years, volcanic ash has transformed roots and trees into stone. Fossil discoveries open a window onto planetary time, far beyond the limits of human experience. A Neolithic ritual site once served to observe the solstice. Between wooden palisades, a figure of light appears, pulsing like a vision inside a zoetrope.

Umbra

20 Min., Experimentalfilm , Kurzfilm

A shimmering light, the rustle of the leaves, round spots of light in the shade of a tree. The sun reflects on the water. It is an element and counterpart. Can nature observe itself? A cinematic reflection on the presence and absence of things.

12 Min., Dokumentarfilm , Kurzfilm

KALTES TAL explores, through a dialectical lens, our relationship to nature as both a repository of raw materials and a mystical realm of possibility.
