In his latest film Meadows Wait, Mist Diffuses. (2024), filmmaker and video artist Dzhovani Gospodinov captures the enigmatic energies of Hosbësch, a forest in Luxembourg. Exploring the ways in which humans disrupt and alter the intimacies between animals, the film queries the ethics of our intrusion into the natural world. Through a multi-year, minimally interventionist filming process, unfolding as a visual elegy on absence, memory, and ecological vulnerability, Dzhovani Gospodinov drifts along the boundaries of documentary and experimental storytelling.

Dzhovani Gospodinov is a Luxembourgish filmmaker whose work experiments with the boundaries between documentary and fiction. Interested in the power of observational filmmaking and its ability to conjure both exteriorised and reflexive modes of storytelling, Gospodinov’s projects have illustrated the poetics of ancient pagan rituals, the erosion of intimacies between humankind and the natural world, and hermetic, monastic orders, amongst other things.
