His artful images inspire us to pause and experience nature with all our senses. Through his daily walks and during work, Andy discovers unique, repeated, and geometric patterns in nature and built landscapes, which produce beautiful and often surprising compositions. From an ice form shielding plant buds to the pattern of a flower’s Fibonacci-spiraled petals, there is so much splendor in the experience of the outdoors year-round. Andy’s illustrative and descriptive presentation of botanical and ecological discoveries is appropriate for all audiences and experiences.

82 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Bas Devos. In French, Romanian, Chinese, and Dutch with English subtitles. DCP.
Here follows Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels who is about to return home to visit his mother, and maybe stay…longer. Using the leftovers from his fridge, he cooks up a big pot of soup and begins handing it out as farewell gifts to friends and family. But while waiting for his car to be fixed, he meets Shuxiu, a Belgian-Chinese woman preparing a doctorate on mosses. Her attention to the near-invisible stops him in his tracks. On the heels of Ghost Tropic (2019), Bas Devos offers another Brussels city symphony. With a quiet grace that’s becoming a trademark, he and his team capture both the longing of contemporary urban life and the potential for enchantment that still exists in spaces shared by strangers from different worlds.
