The Garden of Ecos
199710 min 45 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Co Hoedeman
Production: Thérèse Descary
Script: Co Hoedeman
Animals and plants are living peacefully together in a large garden, until one night predators attack and ravage their habitat, stealing food and destroying plants. This creates an imbalance that leads to war. A fable that poetically and creatively describes how conflicts between two different groups in the same community can upset the natural balance of an ecosystem. A film without words.
