FilmFOREST looks at the issue of the European spruce bark beetle from two sides, seeing the infested trees as works of art and natural forests as sources of beauty. However, this year’s bark beetle calamity was a purely political issue, with environmental activists and loggers facing off in Šumava National Park. Also at play are national politics, developer interests, and forest privatization. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
