Filmvoorstelling en Q&A met filmmaker Sofie Benoot

The screening of "Apple Cider Vinegar" (2024) will consist of an introduction to the event by a Ghent University scholar, the showing of the film, and a Q&A with the filmmaker Sofie Benoot moderated by UGent PhD students.

Film synopsis: Stones are one of the most fundamental but overlooked parts of our world. When a fictitious nature documentary narrator begins to investigate her kidney stone, she decides to tell one more story about this forgotten world of stone. "Apple Cider Vinegar" is a hypnotic essay film asking urgent ecological questions that takes the viewer on a journey meeting Palestinian stone masons, passionate British geologists and people living on the lava fields of Fogo.

Sofie Benoot (Bruges, 1985) is an award-winning filmmaker who lives and works in Brussels. Her films are patchworks of different stories, carefully assembled to reveal hidden connections.
