A movie night for the little giants of nature
With Insects - Heroes in Hiding, filmforum Duisburg at Dellplatz presents a documentary that radically slows down and sharpens the gaze. The screening on July 28, 2026 at 8:30 PM takes you into a microcosm that is often overlooked yet plays a crucial role in life on Earth.
The microcosm as grand cinema
The production by Nepomuk Pfaff unfolds a nature observation of remarkable intensity. With macro lenses and a view into the electron microscope, beetles, mosquitoes, and dragonflies enter an image world that evokes wonder. The documentary combines scientific accuracy with aesthetic experience and makes visible how forms, movements, and structures of these animals expand our conception of nature.
Screen poetry between science and wonder
The film honors insects as ancient, resilient creatures that have claimed their place in the circle of life for millions of years. The text spoken by Katharina Thalbach adds warmth and clarity to the film. This creates an artistic experience that intertwines natural history, education, and poetic reflection on the work.
