Letter to a Cycad

Letter to a Cycad

'Letter to a Cycad' is a visual homage to the historic Palmhouse in Copenhagen, and a reflection on the evolution of plants and our human impact on the planet. Using a fictional voice of the late botanist Frederik Liebmann (1813-1856) who found and described the cycad species Dioon edule, the oldest specimen in the Palmhouse, the film explores life histories and the current biodiversity crisis.

Building these miniature sets was equally as exciting as it was devastating. Trying to find the beauty in these kind of scenes feels just strange. Especially if you know that this is what's actually going on everywhere in the world.

The Chimney Swift (Der Schornsteinsegler)

The Chimney Swift (Der Schornsteinsegler)

Animated Documentary, directed by Frédéric Schuld Qualified for the Oscars 2022 The famous New Year's good luck symbol of a little chimney sweeper is turned upside down: In "The Chimney Swift" a real British sweeper master describes his everyday routine of forcing young kids to become workers. Eileen Arandiga, Hot Docs Toronto International Documentary Festival, 2020: Based on a meticulously detailed letter, the hard-knock lives of young 19th century chimney sweeps are uncovered in this animation, which masterfully articulates the finer points of preparing children as young as four for a life of hard labor up the flues of the bourgeoisie. Director statement by Frédéric Schuld: The idea for the film is based on an early childhood memory of a bird falling down my grandparent’s fireplace. It is one of those vague memories that stays. After researching the systematical abuse of the 19th century children chimney sweepers, I connected the dots. Like in my previous film “Carlotta’s Face” I use hand drawn 2D animation with a personal style to be able to create a unique access to a multi-layered story of fate through metaphoric images.
