On June 16, 1913, a fire broke out at a match factory in Częstochowa. Firefighters rushed to the scene to battle the blaze—and so did a cameraman, who captured the extraordinary event on film. It remains one of the oldest surviving Polish newsreels. The film was made by the brothers Władysław and Antoni Krzemiński, pioneers of Polish cinema who ran the Odeon cinema in Częstochowa. The footage screened there just two days after the widely reported fire. Until now, only defective, poor-quality copies existed, with the left side of the image cropped off. The film has now been restored from a 1913 nitrate print and a 1969 counter-negative.

In Fabrizio Terranova’s film, Donna Haraway – an original thinker and activist, one of the founders of cyberfeminism and the author of A Cyborg Manifesto, which proposed a number of innovative theories about the existence of scientific knowledge – calls for the abandonment of the idea of human exceptionalism and for a conception of the world as complex web of interconnections between people, animals and machines.

As a bird warden, Kilian spends seven months alone on a barrier island in the Heligoland Bight. His tasks are simple: monitoring wildlife and collecting flotsam. The rich birdlife, extreme weather and ever-changing landscape are conveyed both through imagery and a soundtrack of wind, rain and birdsong. Contact with others is rare, but the intrusion of the outside world is all the more striking. The film’s melancholic atmosphere echoes both solitude and a sense that this fragile sanctuary is deeply at risk. Beyond its precise observations, an essay on climate change and militarisation emerges.
