Original title: The Coriolis Effect Year of Production: 2025 Duration: 110 min Country of Production: Netherlands, Norway Languages: Cape Verdean Creole, Portuguese Subtitles: English Director: Petr Lom Cinematographer: Petr Lom, Runar Jarle-Wiik (underwater cinematography) Editor: Gys Zevenbergen Sound Design: Jeroen Goeijers; field recordings by Ad Stoop & David Medina Music: Vasco Martins Producer: Corinne van Egeraat; co-producer Mette Cheng Munthe-Kaas

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.

Director: The Coriolis Effect

Petr Lom (b. 1968) is a visual essayist whose documentaries explore rights—both human and ecological—with poetic intimacy, from political landscapes to elemental environments. His recent works include I Am the River, the River Is Me and Myanmar Diaries.

“For the sake of future human and non‑human generations, it is time for a new nature‑inclusive democracy… The Coriolis Effect is a cinematic invitation to feel what this world might be like.”
