“THE GREEN THREAD” (2023)

Festival of Lights Award 2023 - Berlin

synopsis: A piece of thread is cut off again and again from a ball of wool until life only hangs on a very thin, short thread. The pictorial metaphor of the increasingly smaller ball of wool shows the finiteness of our natural resources. THE GREEN THREAD creates awareness for our actions and shows the meaningfulness and ultimately the necessity of environmental protection. Despite the severity of the problem, the animation film opposes a lightness and aesthetic that makes a positive rethink possible.

"In The Green Thread the video artist Vanessa Cardui deals with the interconnectedness of all life. The same thread that holds the planet together also draws the creatures that populate it." (www.berlin.de Das offizielle Hauptstadtportal, 06.10.2023)

“With her multi-award-winning animated film The Green Thread, Vanessa Cardui creates awareness for our actions and climate protection.” (Festival of Lights Berlin 06.10.2023)
