THE FISH

A documentary-fiction hybrid film inspired by the real experiences of Swedish fishers observing the collapse of marine life in the Gulf of Bothnia. The staging blends observational reality with surreal dreamscapes, transforming a story about ecological depletion and industrial fishing into a formal inquiry into climate grief and the shifting boundaries between the human and non-human world.

A short film by Karolina Breguła
