A GLOBAL SHORT FILM SERIES EXPLORING OUR LIVES
THROUGH THE LENS OF THE ELEMENTS FROM THE PERIODIC TABLE
The stories of the elements are intimately connected to our own. Our bodies are made up of them, our survival depends on them and they are all that surrounds us. From our daily routines to the patterns of our economies, they affect us in countless ways, yet often remain invisible. They are the untold stories behind our physical existence.
ELEMENTAL: Atomic Tales & Periodic Fables is a collection of short documentary films, each one exploring our lives through a different element from the periodic table. The diverse individual films combine to create an engaging experience about our relationships with the elements, while celebrating the art and craft of documentary filmmaking.
Award-winning directors and upcoming talent from around the world tell human stories in 6 - 20 minute films directed in their own unique voices and styles. There are as many stories about how the elements touch our lives as there are creative ways to portray them, and the collection champions films from across the wide spectrum of creative documentary approaches.
With the support of Sandbox Films, we have now completed nine new films.
With films from Serbia, Kenya, Argentina, China, Spain, USA, Canada, Spain and Northern Ireland, ELEMENTAL provides a timely, thought-provoking and creative exploration of the unique properties and chemistry of the elements that drive our modern world, motivated by the alarming rate at which we are using many of them up.
