Review - Fiume o Morte!
Fiume o Morte! Directed by Igor Bezinović, 2025 Fiume o Morte (“Fiume or death”) was the slogan of Gabriele D’Annunzio, the flamboyant Italian poet, nationalist and war hero whose cult of personality helped propel him to lead the occupation of the Adriatic port city of Fiume (now Rijeka) in 1919. Igor Bezinović’s documentary Fiume o Morte revisits this politically charged period through an inventive blend of reenactment, street interviews, and archival material.

You searched for forest bathing | My Little Bird
“STAY AWHILE,” the trees call out in Mary Oliver’s poem, an invitation to “forest bathing.” The term, translated from the Japanese shinrin-yoku, means immersing yourself in the woods; it’s an attentive way of being among trees, under the sky, on the earth. “Forest bathing is slowing down and connecting with nature with all your senses and it’s something you can do very close to home,” says Melanie Choukas-Bradley.
