The Coriolis Effect unfolds as a meditation on resilience in a place where land, sea, and wind are in constant negotiation. Life here is shaped by scarcity and unpredictability, yet marked by an unspoken pact between people, animals, and the elements. The film listens closely to the spaces between words, to the quiet endurance carried in gestures and routines. It is less about catastrophe than about the slow, persistent forces that transform a community over time: the shift of seasons, the retreat of water, the re-shaping of coastlines. Music and field recordings blend into a living archive, where memory is carried not in monuments, but in shared work and daily care. In its patient rhythm, the film offers a counterpoint to urgency, creating room for reflection on how we inhabit a changing world, not as passive witnesses to loss, but as participants in its unfolding story.
Petr Lom & Corinne van Egeraat are a longtime filmmaking duo behind ZINDOC, specialising in creative, poetic documentaries rooted in human rights and ecological themes. Corinne, born in the Netherlands in 1966, is the producer and owner of ZINDOC, with a strong background in theatre and a commitment to freedom of expression. Petr Lom, born in Prague in 1968, grew up in Canada — he holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Harvard and formerly taught human rights and philosophy before turning fully to film.
Over years of collaboration, they’ve made several feature documentaries together: ANA ANA (“I am me” in Arabic) (2013), Burma Storybook (2017), and Angels on Diamond Street (2019) among them. Corinne has also produced impactful short work, run storytelling workshops, and forged cross‑disciplinary projects combining film, poetry, photography, and activism.
