synopsis

Director Victor Kossakovsky and botanist Stefano Mancuso take us on a unprecedented journey into the life of trees. What happens to a stump the second after a tree is cut down? What does that tree think and feel at that very moment? Holy Wood Dust is an invitation to radically rethink the plant kingdom from a new groundbreaking perspective.

Director’s Statement

While art may be powerless to halt the conflicts unfolding around us and cannot stop the bullets of today, I believe that telling stories rooted in empathy can plant the seeds for a more peaceful future.
