Inari Sandell‘s On Butterfly Logic is part of the Let’s Start The Revolution International Short Film Contest organized by the Camera Femina Foundation. The event takes place from October 3–5, 2025 at Baobab in Lublin, Poland.

On Butterfly Logic (2024) examines butterflies’ moving patterns, societal norms of neurotypicality, and psychiatric interventions and histories concerning autism. A butterfly’s flying pattern might not make sense to a human observer, but its’ “erratic” logic keeps the creature safe from predators. The film presents the butterfly as a symbol of resistance to normative cognitive and bodily standards, and suggests we look at diverging manners of movement and thinking as their own logical systems; worthy, queer, and intelligent.
