Awards

Anthropocene MuSe Award
Ed. 2026
The Anthropocene MUSE Award is presented to the film A Bear Remembers for its ability to portray the Anthropocene as a loss that is not merely environmental, but also cultural and symbolic. Using a contemplative and evocative style, the film portrays the erasure of memories, knowledge, and relationships connecting communities to their environment, transforming the ecological crisis into a crisis of imagination and social cohesion. However, the act of remembering opens up a possibility: the ending suggests a fragile yet significant form of reconnection, where memory becomes an act of resistance and a starting point for reimagining human and the non-human relationships.
