In one of two Boeing crashes caused by a software error six years ago, 157 people died, including my brother Max. I travelled with my father to the crash site in search of some- thing tangible in our grief. There, we met people for whom mourning is a profound part of their culture – a humanity contrasting with the manufacturer’s calculated stance. Teboho Edkins grew up in southern Africa and lives and works in Cape Town and Berlin. His films have been shown at over 500 film festivals and in various group and solo exhi- bitions, including at the Centre Pompidou and Tate Gallery of Modern Art.

In Epitaph, filmmaker Cecilia Araneda returns to her long-estranged homeland, eco-processing 16 mm film with leaves and fruit gathered from her ancestral home, weaving a lament for her family’s past and the vanishing landscapes of home. Filmed in both Chile and on the Tablelands in Canada, a site central to the modern understanding of plate tectonics, Epitaph incorporates eco-processed 16 mm footage, video, documents from public and private archives, and found footage to weave an epitaph to a home in the process of leaving the filmmaker, first as a result of exile and then to the gradual movement of time. Epitaph has been eco-processed on-site in rural Chile at the site of the filmmaker’s father’s family using boldo, figs, fig leaves, walnut leaves, apples, apple leaves, fall grapes, fall grape leaves, olives, olive leaves, plums, mint, yard flowers and other vegetation.
