TALK: The Imperfect Future – WOOD: Design between Symbiosis and Standardisation | 21.05.2026, 18:30

What does it mean for design when materials are not perfect?

“NEXT – Young European Design” by EUNIC and Aedes brings together young designers from eleven European countries to discuss wood as a material in the context of climate change, resource scarcity and new production methods. “The Imperfect Future – WOOD: Design between Symbiosis and Standardisation” examines how designers are responding to flawed materials, the slow growth cycles of natural resources and the tension between craftsmanship and industrial standardisation.

Post-screening | Still Nia @filmul_stillnia @ DokuMontag – EUNIC Berlin @eunicberlin

A wonderful evening with the screening of Still Nia as part of the DokuMontag series by EUNIC Berlin, curated by the Czech Centre Berlin @tschechisches_zentrum, and held at Cinema Paris (Berlin) at the Institut français de Berlin @ifkudamm.

We would like to warmly thank the audience for their engaged presence and for staying until the end of the Q&A session, moderated by Bernd Buder, together with filmmaker Paula Oneț @paula_onet and producer Ioana Bogdana @tallandcool.

The discussion offered valuable insights into the film’s context, its development process, and the origins of the story - as well as how it evolved over time and the working process behind it. It provided a deeper understanding of the film’s perspective and creative journey.

We are especially grateful for the reflections shared on the making of the film and the trajectory of the director’s work, this being her first feature-length documentary. We are looking forward with great interest to her upcoming projects.

📸 A few impressions from the evening.
