A collaborative botanicollage film poem by participants in the festival workshop, Dreaming Ecosystems, led by poet Mita Mahato and filmmaker Caryn Cline.

Through visual metaphor and personal address, this film meditates on the intergenerational connection between the filmmaker and maternal figures—both human and planetary. As the mother becomes a vessel for memory, care, and ecological grief, Dear Mom asks: what does it mean to nurture in a world unraveling?
