About the Films

Wild Honey: Caring for Bees in a Divided Land:  This Film explores how migratory wild honeybees transcend the colonial border dividing Timor, uniting the people of Lookeu through ritual, song, and shared heritage. Amid modern pressures, the community works to preserve the bees' movements and their cultural identity.

Days and Years in the Lives of Plants: A Look at how plants time their flowering using light-sensitive pigments, messenger, RNA and temperature cues, and how these processes are impacted by climate change.
