Pomace

Abstract

Pomace (2022) is a documentary film that explores the concept of circularity through a narrative on olive cultivation.

How can the olive inspire us towards a more sustainable future? In Pomace, the intrinsic and traditional circular qualities of olive cultivation is explored in rural western Anatolia. The film illustrates what circularity is, based on a narrative on the olive, by presenting its socio-cultural, economic, technological and environmental dynamics. It also includes the endeavor of a group of designers who develops a circular bioplastic by using the residues of olive oil extraction, and to design products by using it.
