Film premiere GRUMPY FISH

Great excitement reigns in the coral reef when an uninvited guest appears in the form of an old trainer. The sea creatures are anything but enthusiastic about the disturbing object. With a lot of wit, sarcasm, and grumpiness, a debate begins about pollution and the impact of plastic waste on their home. In the midst of the discussion, a futuristic idea emerges: cellulose shoes made from bacterial tissue could be the solution. The environmentally friendly material has leather-like properties and is biodegradable. The possibilities open up applications that go far beyond the production of ecologically sustainable shoes.
With original approaches and unconventional narrative structures, the alt narratives project aims to make complex scientific and artistic research accessible to a wider audience. In close cooperation with scientists and project managers from the University of Arts Linz and the Johannes Kepler University, science communication is being reimagined, leaving behind traditional models of “explanatory film” in order to open up a space for multilayered and creative exchange. The current film by alt narratives, GRUMPY FISH, is based on the FWF Peek project “Fashion & Robotics” and the EU project “BioCombs4Nanofibers” and was realized by LAS GAFAS
